Remember all that discussion of how socialized medicine would lead to “death panels?” It turns out that this worry was far too optimistic about what the future would hold.  In Great Britain the trajectory is far darker: as the country rushes to embrace medical murder without any checks on the ability of doctors to push...

Well, maybe not entirely on Capitol Hill Republicans. A couple of weeks ago, the GOP began discussing a hike in the top tax rate to balance out predicted revenue reductions by expanding the state and local tax deduction (SALT) from its current cap at $10,000.
