U.S. News & World Report - By Scott Lilly - Apr. 26 (News Analysis) - In 1946, our public debt was 109 percent of gross domestic product—75 percent higher than the current level. We ran deficits in 20 of the next 28 years, but still whittled the debt down to 24 percent of GDP by 1974 by keeping deficits relatively small in all but the worst economic years, and moving into surplus in good years.

The Biggest Myth of the Midterms

Fri, 29 Oct 2010 00:00:00 -0700

finance.yahoo.com - By Rick Newman - Oct. 29 (Opinion) - Somewhat overlooked are these small factoids: Obama has overseen corporate bailouts started under the Bush administration that have funneled $600 billion of taxpayer money into banks and automakers. The Federal Reserve under Obama has inflated the stock market well above its natural level, to the great relief of the investor class. The Fed has also kept interest rates at record lows, which punishes Main Street savers but benefits big businesses that have access to some of the cheapest money ever. The much-derided stimulus plan kept the recession from being a lot worse, which saved many businesses on the edge and helped keep others healthy. Obama has quietly let union-backed "card check" legislation, which would strengthen unions, drift down the Democrats' priority list.

World Sees Obama as Incompetent and Amateur

Fri, 18 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0700

U.S. News & World Report - By Mort Zuckerman - Jun. 18 (News Analysis) - The reviews of Obama's performance have been disappointing. He has seemed uncomfortable in the role of leading other nations, and often seems to suggest there is nothing special about America's role in the world. The global community was puzzled over the pictures of Obama bowing to some of the world's leaders and surprised by his gratuitous criticisms of and apologies for America's foreign policy under the previous administration of George W. Bush. One Middle East authority, Fouad Ajami, pointed out that Obama seems unaware that it is bad form and even a great moral lapse to speak ill of one's own tribe while in the lands of others. Even in Britain, for decades our closest ally, the talk in the press—supported by polls—is about the end of the "special relationship" with America. French President Nicolas Sarkozy openly criticized Obama for months, including a direct attack on his policies at the United Nations. Sarkozy cited the need to recognize the real world, not the virtual world, a clear reference to Obama's speech on nuclear weapons. When the French president is seen as tougher than the American president, you have to know that something is awry. Vladimir Putin of Russia has publicly scorned a number of Obama's visions. Relations with the Chinese leadership got off to a bad start with the president's poorly-organized visit to China, where his hosts treated him disdainfully and prevented him from speaking to a national television audience of the Chinese people. The Chinese behavior was unprecedented when compared to visits by other U.S. presidents.

U.S. News & World Report - By Kim Clark Kim Clark - Sep. 10 (Review) - Parents: Stop fretting so much about which high school your youngsters attend or how they score on the SATs. If you want your student to make it to a bachelor's degree, it's far more important for him or her to earn at least B's in high school and reach for the best possible college. Oh, and saving a few thousand bucks by sending your kid to a community college could turn out to be an expensive mistake.

Republican Leaders Debate Reagan's Relevance

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700

U.S. News & World Report - By Kenneth T. Walsh - Jul. 09 (Opinion) - Ronald Reagan still stands larger than life—7 feet tall and full of vim and vigor. Actually, it's a bronze statue of the 40th president, unveiled in the Capitol Rotunda with much fanfare in early June. But to his admirers, the ceremony and the statue were reminders that Reagan can still teach the country lessons about leadership and charisma. Beyond the true believers, however, political leaders are increasingly debating Reagan's relevance. After the Republican Party's shellacking in the past two elections, some conservatives argue that the GOP has strayed too far from the Gipper's small-government philosophy and that it hasn't properly emphasized his goals of a strong national defense and promoting American exceptionalism. Others say the party needs to find a new generation of leaders and a new portfolio of ideas because what worked 20 years ago isn't what's called for today.

Should Obama End the Ban on Gays Serving Openly in the Military?

U.S. News & World Report - Jun. 19 (Opinion) - A 1993 law barred gays from serving in the military. President Clinton's "don't ask, don't tell" policy upheld the ban but promised to look the other way if the homosexuality were kept secret. Still, hundreds of gays have been discharged just since President Obama took office. Should the law be thrown out as well?

Who Would Lose Under Obama’s Financial Reforms - Rick Newman (usnews.com)

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700

U.S. News & World Report - By Rick Newman - Jun. 18 (Editorial) - President Obama’s ambitious overhaul of the financial regulatory system would create a new layer of consumer protections, expand the Washington regulatory establishment and change the way America’s banks do business. The goal is to provide more stability to the financial system, which would benefit most Americans. But such abrupt change would also cause some casualties. Here’s who stands to lose under Obama’s reforms:

Prevent Depression in Teens With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700

U.S. News & World Report - By Nancy Shute - Jun. 05 (Review) - This latest news, in a depression study just out in the Journal of the American Medical Association, is yet another bit of evidence that cognitive behavioral therapy is a valid treatment for depression. Half of the 316 teenagers in the study, led by Vanderbilt University psychology professor Judy Garber, took part in eight weekly, 90-minute group sessions, in which they were taught problem-solving skills and practiced them. Cognitive behavioral therapy isn't traditional, long-term "talk therapy"; it's a short-term treatment, usually lasting no more than 20 sessions, based on the idea that people's thoughts cause their feelings and behaviors. Thus if people change how they think about a situation and how they respond to it, they can feel better, even if the situation hasn't changed.
