The editors at American Thinker run a great news site. But I have shirts older than the editors at American Thinker. I have met the young kids who run A.T. at conferences. They don't know enough about America, the economy, government, politics, or the world to understand the articles they are publishing or not publishing.

I dunno, they seem to be doing something right. (My slide rule may be older than you, too . . .)

On the substance, your article seems quite good. I especially like your idea of expensing capital improvements for tax purposes. And IMHO the feds shouldn’t be in education; at the rate they’re going local school boards may lose their legitimacy. Khan Academy has shown us how it can be done; some homeschoolers claim it’s no harder to homeschool than it is to help kids with their homework.

The real crying need is to delegitimate the conceit that mothers and dads aren’t crucial to society. Dads need to be recognized providers, and supported as possible in that position - and mothers need to be able to stay home and do the real work - which is raising children. Uncle Sam as sugar daddy delegitimates father ood, and a Department of Education dilutes the true mission of the federal government, which is foreign policy and defense. The housing market in Northern Virgina needs to collapse due to the elimination of a lot of federal “mission creep."

The gummit shouldn’t have a say on hiring people. The market will handle that w/o the tax deduction. Lower taxes for everyone not just employers.

I must intervene here and clarify: two of the three main editors at AT are NOT YOUNG KIDS at all. One is kind of young. The editor who nixes some stuff that should be published (IMO) is NOT the young one normally. The kids you refer to are mostly in charge of the technical end, not the content end.

Cut funding for the IRS as punishment for their targeting of conservatives. (There is an interesting (good) side effect of this also, if you cut the personnel.)

Restore Obamacare cuts to Medicare. Democrats cut an estimated $716 billion from Medicare to finance the subsidies in Obamacare. Republicans should reverse these Medicare cuts and restore the Medicare Advantage program . . . Republicans could defund and repeal Obamacare while destroying the liberal lie that they want to cut Medicare.

That is an excellent idea. The bill repealing Obamacare should simultaneously restore that Medicare funding. It will save FedGov money because of the other waste in Obamacare , and it will save families money because they will no longer have to pay for coverage they don't want.
