Time for some pain in the debt talks
Armstrong Williams , TownhallWell folks, if you didn’t think it was crunch time for lawmakers in Washington, it’s clear now. Talk is cheap. That’s not me saying it. That’s the world’s three credit agencies, Moody’s, Finch and now Standard & Poor’s, which all have threatened that the U.S. risks losing its top-n .. submitted 05/23/12

Time for War Against Democrats' Fiscal Sabotage
David Limbaugh , TownhallIt is amazing that the American people would continue to elect Democratic politicians to national office, considering Democrats' cynical disregard for the federal budget crisis.

Stay Out of Libya
Steve Chapman , TownhallThe civil war in Libya was barely underway before some American politicians were insisting the United States crash the party.

Handouts, Morality and Common Sense
Walter E. williams , TownhallWhether Americans realize it or not, the last decade's path of congressional spending is unsustainable. Spending must be reined in, but what spending should be cut? The Republican majority in the House of Representatives fear being booted out of office and are understandably timid. Their rule for wh .. submitted 05/23/12
Don't Be Fooled By Jobs Increase
Donald Lambro , TownhallWASHINGTON -- The welcome addition of 192,000 jobs last month comes with some huge caveats that suggest the Obama economy isn't actually going to reduce the high unemployment rate anytime soon.

Cal Thomas , TownhallFor many years American policy has been to sell modern weaponry to Arab states. The reasons given are to maintain the "balance of power" in the region, but the unstated and most likely reason is to keep the oil flowing. The Obama administration has approved billions in arms sales and transfers to A .. submitted 05/23/12
It's Their War, Not Ours
Pat Buchanan , TownhallBefore the United States plunges into a third war in the Middle East, let us think this one through, as we did not the last two.

Who's to Blame For Union Woes?
Michael Barone , TownhallThe labor union movement is in deep trouble. Only 6 percent of private-sector employees are union members.

Give ‘em Hell, Scott
Bruce Bialosky , TownhallTen years ago, while on a public service television show, I stated that public employees should not be allowed to unionize. The panel, which, as usual, was stacked with liberals, went into frenzy. You’d have thought that I suggested reinstating guillotines. I went on to explain that I was fully i .. submitted 05/23/12
A Word of Warning for Hill Republicans
Carol Liebau , TownhallAfter the past few weeks, many GOP conservatives – and Tea Partiers – are beginning to understand how some of the Obamaphiles feel.

Who Is "Pro Business" In Washington?
Austin Hill , TownhallNews about the economy and business growth has been getting better. Claims for unemployment benefits, and unemployment itself, seem to have dropped. And while unemployment and “under employment” figures remain painfully high, a look inside the latest data on American businesses suggests that m .. submitted 05/23/12
Not Your Grandfather’s Labor Movement
David Stokes , TownhallI wish the collectivist left would make up its mind. One the one hand, we have been bombarded for the past few years with the emergent doctrine that the government is the answer to just about everything. On the other hand, the people who work directly for the government organize themselves into un .. submitted 05/23/12
