Hey, Washington: Keep Your Hands Off the Internet
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
Everyone these days -- on both sides of the political spectrum -- seems to want the feds to regulate internet access, prices and online content. They want the Federal Communications Commission to be the referee in terms of who gets connected to the internet and what can and can't be said.
But three recent events highlight why this is a dangerous idea, and why an internet free of government regulation and policing is the best policy.
The first event was the recent 6th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that wisely struck down FCC's illegal power grab to regulate internet access. The Biden-Harris administration has wanted to treat the internet as a regulated utility -- a "common carrier" -- despite falling costs and the fact that well over 90% of Americans already have access to high-speed internet. All of this WITHOUT any government interference, thank you. Private companies from Google to Apple to AT&T and Verizon have created near-universal access to gain more customers, and an Unleash Prosperity study has found that federal rules have actually impeded internet connections.
Biden-Harris Have a Sixth Sense the Economy Is in Trouble -- They're Probably Right

Democrats and the media are in a quandary to explain why Americans so underappreciate all that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have done for the economy. Or, should I say, TO the economy.
They act as if these are the salad days for American families, with inflation falling and jobs aplenty. For now.
So why are Americans so dour? A recent Pew poll found that only 22% of Americans believe the country is headed in the right direction.
Natural Gas Is Now Cheaper Than Water

Among the great mythologies of recent years, one stands out above the rest, is that the world is in a "great energy transition." Actually, the world IS in a dramatic energy transition. But it isn't the one the Left wants it to be.
Despite hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars thrown at wind and solar power, we still get less than 10% of our energy from green sources. The needle really hasn't moved at all over the past two decades. The more the government spends, the less we get per taxpayer dollar thrown at it. That's the very definition of a falling stock.
Just Who Is the Real Middle-Class President?
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
President Joe Biden talked incessantly about his "from the middle class out" economic strategy. Given his record, it would have been more accurate to call it the "middle class down and out" plan. Inflation has eroded away any income gains under Biden's presidency.
Now Vice President Kamala Harris has her own riff on this theme. Her campaign motto is "building up the middle class." It isn't exactly "Make America Great Again," but Dems don't have a lot of time to come up with anything catchier, given that Kamala was reluctantly chosen as the 8th inning relief pitcher for Old Joe, who had long ago lost his fastball.
Biden's Rent Control Schemes Will Backfire on Renters -- They Always Do
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
It's clear why President Joe Biden desperately wants to bring down housing prices and rent. With mortgage interest rates double what they were when former President Donald Trump took office, mortgage payments have roughly doubled since 2020, and rents are up in many cities by more than 30%.
So much for the dream of homeownership. And just finding an affordable rental unit larger than a dorm room is getting harder all the time.
Biden blames "greed-flation" for the high rental costs. He's now proposed a two-pronged plan to combat rising rents. First, he wants to reinstate rent controls in major metro areas and impose financial punishments on landlords if they raise rents by more than 5% a year. And second, he wants to make it illegal for landlords to use computer algorithms for setting prices.
Where Does Joe Biden Rank Among America's Worst Presidents?
- Details
- By Stephen Moore
President Joe Biden's time in the White House is mercifully coming to an end. He's now officially a lame duck with six months to go.
Biden was a victim here of a corrupt Democratic machine (with a complicit media) that thought it could pull off a grand election-year deceit despite Biden's failing cognitive abilities. The establishment and a compliant media convinced millions of primary voters that he was of sound mind and ready to serve four more years. This lust for power put America in danger. How could they be so unpatriotic?
So where will Biden stand in the history books? He wasn't a failed president because of his declining cognitive abilities. It was his policies that wrecked America.
Some 40 Years Later: A Nation STILL at Risk

School's out for the summer, so now it is time to examine the state of our education system.
By any objective measure, our school performance is fair or poor for most children. Math scores hit a 20-year low. ACT scores dropped to a 30-year low last year. In dozens of schools throughout the country, not one child is reading or practicing math at grade-level proficiency. Not one!
Some of this poor performance is due to the unforgivable mistake of shutting down our schools during COVID-19 -- despite children being less vulnerable to the virus.
