  1. St. Louis Post-Dispatch Mound City Money column

    St. Louis Post-Dispatch
    The debate in Washington over taxing Internet sales should be about one thing: fairness. If you buy a book or a blouse at a physical store, you pay sales tax. If you don't pay the same tax at an online store, the government is favoring one kind of...

  2. Family meltdown

    WASHINGTON -- The discouraging March employment report, with a job increase of only 88,000, raises questions well beyond the dreary state of today's labor market. Prolonged high unemployment may be silently shredding the social fabric in ways that last for decades. Even before the Great Recession, men with a high-school diploma or less faced lower wages and a harder time finding work. This made them less attractive as husbands, contributing to the growth of single-parent families. Stubbornly high unemployment almost certainly aggravates these destructive trends.

  4. EDITORIAL: A troubling lack of candor from Bachmann

    Star Tribune
    Normally, it's an outrageous statement or a stunning disregard for the facts that puts an unflattering national spotlight on Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann. Bachmann's typical response is to ignore the negative publicity and the questions...

  6. EDITORIAL: Who's in charge in Iran?: Does it matter?

    The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
    An expert's assessment that Iran's elite military branch has seized economic and political power from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei doesn't mean the nature of that nuke-seeking nation's leadership has changed. Whichever faction's running Iran, it'...

  7. Sun publishes absurd views on labor issues

    As a businessman I read The Sun to be informed and educated, not for snide and misinformed comments such as those in commentator Matt Patterson's piece on the nomination of Thomas Perez as labor secretary ("Why do we need a labor department?" March 22). It was difficult to determine whether the author meant to be taken seriously.

  8. On sequestration, Obama becomes extortionist in chief

    At the end of 1995 and stretching into January 1996, the federal government "shut down" because of an impasse between President Bill Clinton and House Republicans led by then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The issue was increased taxes vs. less spending. Sound familiar? The government reopened when a bipartisan agreement was reached to balance the budget by 2003. Now the national debt is racing toward an unsustainable $17 trillion.

  9. Is disability the new welfare?

    The government in Britain recently did something interesting. It asked everyone receiving an "incapacity benefit" -- a disability program slowly being phased out under new reforms -- to submit to a medical test to confirm they were too disabled to work....

  10. Abortion and gay marriage: Not all social issues are the same

    Just because things can be put on the same list doesn't mean they are necessarily similar. My attic contains within it thousands of comic books, an inflatable bed, some jigsaw puzzles, some family pictures and a "Frampton Comes Alive!" album. These things are, roughly speaking, in the same location, but they're hardly of equal value, importance or function.

  11. Balanced budget amendment still a terrible idea

    Frustrated by the persistence of large deficits and alarmed by the long-term gap between spending and revenue, congressional Republicans are promoting a constitutional amendment to require balanced budgets. Rep. Trent Franks, an Arizona Republican, tells...

  12. The Cyprus confusion

    WASHINGTON -- Logically, what happens in Cyprus should stay in Cyprus. With a population of just over 1 million and an economy that's a mere 0.2 percent of the 17-nation eurozone, the country seems too small to matter on the world stage. Yet, that's where...
