Social Security’s Cost-of-Living Adjustment Will Soon Become a Cost-of-Insolvency Adjustment | National Review
Social Security's 3.6 percent cost-of-living adjustment for 2027 masks a looming insolvency crisis. With the retirement trust fund projected to run dry in 2032, retirees face automatic benefit cuts of 22 percent unless Congress reforms the program or imposes substantial payroll tax increases on younger workers.
Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
When Virginians head to the polls on Nov. 3, they will vote on “Question 1, Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment.” What voters will see is a question asking, effectively, whether they support or oppose adding a section to the state constitution that establishes a right to an abortion.

If it seems like everyday expenses are becoming less affordable, just imagine what you could pay if the Supreme Court decides that thousands of state and local governments can bring multibillion-dollar lawsuits against energy companies for their alleged contributions to climate change. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in Suncor Energy (U.S.A.) Inc. v. Board of County Commissioners of Boulder County, a case considering that very question, on Oct. 5. Stay informed.Stay ahead.
What The 50-Year Legacy Of The Hyde Amendment Means For The Future
Fifty years ago today, Congress put a straightforward principle into federal law: Americans who oppose abortion should not be compelled to finance it through their federal tax dollars. With widespread bipartisan support, Congress attached this restriction, named for its sponsor, Rep. Henry Hyde (R-IL), to the appropriations bill for the Departments of Labor and what was then called Health, Education, and Welfare on September 30, 1976.
Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
The Trump-Vance administration wants to make married families that have a stay-at-home parent eligible for payments from the Child Care and Development Fund. Under the reported rule, low- and moderate-income married couples could claim roughly $9,000 per child if one spouse works at least 35 hours a week and the other stays home and earns no income.
Labor Day highlights missing half of affordability debate
OPINION: As Americans come off Labor Day celebrations, policymakers should remember that affordability has two sides: what things cost and what people earn. Sometimes politicians spend too much time talking about the first and not enough about the second. Affording a house, groceries, childcare, college or a family vacation depends not only on the prices of these things but also on the paychecks that American workers bring home.
The Delphi bailout Congress shouldn't pay
Washington has an unfortunate habit of picking winners and losers. Congress should resist doing so again. President Donald Trump's supplemental budget request asks Congress to spend roughly $1 billion to restore full pension benefits for about 5,700 former salaried employees of Delphi whose pensions were reduced when their plan was terminated. Supporters portray the proposal as correcting a historic injustice.
Fighting Health Care Fraud: Data-Driven Oversight Important
The federal government lacks the basic accounting systems necessary to track trillions of dollars after they leave the Treasury, which makes fighting fraud a lot harder than it needs to be.
Analysis: Can driverless trucks overcome union opposition, revolutionize transportation industry?
Self-driving cars could be the way of the future, but labor unions seem intent on resisting the forces of the free market all the way there. For example, major snack and soda company PepsiCo recently announced its plan to invest $600 million in autonomous trucking. It will use self-driving trucks to deliver shipments of Frito-Lay, Pepsi and Gatorade products to Texas, Arizona and Arkansas.
Social Security is failing
OPINION: The 2026 Social Security trustees report shows that Social Security is running out of time and money. Insolvency and automatic benefit cuts are projected for the end of 2032, meaning everyone in Generation X and younger is on track to never receive a single full Social Security benefit. Reform is inevitable, and understanding the facts is the first step toward preserving the program for future generations.
[THURS 10AM] Faster Labor Contracts Act would silence workers’ voices and empower bureaucrats
US DENOUNCES ATTEMPTED ‘COUP’ IN BOLIVIA AFTER LEFT-WING STRIKERS PARALYZE COUNTRY Nearly all union constitutions and bylaws require a majority of union members to vote in favor of a collective bargaining agreement before it’s ratified. But under the Faster Labor Contracts Act, any negotiations that result in forced arbitration would leave workers without a vote on their binding employment terms.

While the paychecks teenagers earn can fill gas tanks, fund entertainment, and grow savings accounts, those jobs are more than just paychecks. Jobs for teenagers provide experience and life lessons that teach youth the importance of key skills such as showing up on time, treating customers and coworkers with respect, staying on task even when tasks are difficult or boring, and engaging with other humans face-to-face.
The new right wants to help workers. Its labor policy will hurt them
Rachel Greszler, Washington Examiner This essay is a part of The Right Way Forward, Restoring America's new think tank debate series in which leading conservative institutions argue the defining questions of the post-Trump era. Read about the series here . For decades, conservatives agreed on the simple premise that the best foundation for good jobs, rising wages, and expanding opportunity was the free market , not government mandates.
How the Faster Labor Contracts Act could hurt workers
Federal law, the National Labor Relations Act, requires employers to bargain in good faith with union officials toward a collective bargaining agreement, but it does not mandate that the parties must reach an agreement. Contracts can take a long time to negotiate because one or both sides are new to the process, have unreasonable demands, and are negotiating complex terms that will affect all future contracts.
The numbers are in: Unions need a new playbook
For decades, organized labor has been in decline. Despite periodic headlines suggesting a resurgence, unionization in the United States continues to fall. In 2025, just 10% of American workers belonged to a union — down from prior decades and only a marginal uptick from a record low the year before. Strip out the public sector, and the picture is even starker: Private-sector unionization remains at a record-low 5.9%.
A pro-growth proposal to strengthen Social Security

Trump is right to waive the Jones Act. Congress should eliminate it entirely
The Iran war has caused “the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market,” according to the International Energy Agency. As the Trump administration seeks to reduce oil prices, which have risen in the United States more than 40% since the start of Operation Epic Fury, it has rightfully waived an antiquated protectionist law.

Secondary boycott strategy against Anthropic could backfire
After disputes over the use of Anthropic’s technology in fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance, War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced restrictions on Anthropic’s operations within and outside of the War Department: “In conjunction with the President’s directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic’s technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security.
CBO Says Social Security Insolvency Arrives in 2032 with Bigger Benefit Cuts
The Congressional Budget Office’s 2026 Budget and Economic Outlook projects that Social Security will run out of money to pay full benefits a year earlier than previously expected — in 2032. That means everyone from Gen X through Gen Alpha is on track not to receive a single full Social Security benefit. By law, Social Security cannot pay out more in benefits than the program has in revenues.
Bernie Sanders's credit card cap: bad economics, worse results
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) calls credit card lending “extortion and loan sharking,” comparing lenders to the usurers Dante placed in Hell. His proposed solution, starting with a five-year 10% interest rate cap, might sound appealing. But it would devastate the very families he claims to protect. First, let's address his claim that credit card lending amounts to extortion and loan sharking. Extortion involves coercion and threats.
Bernie Sanders’s credit card cap: bad economics, worse results
First, let’s address his claim that credit card lending amounts to extortion and loan sharking. Extortion involves coercion and threats. Loan sharking involves predatory lending backed by violence at triple-digit interest rates. Credit cards involve neither. Every transaction is voluntary. Terms are disclosed upfront. Customers can pay off their balances anytime without penalty. Yes, interest rates average more than 20%. But this reflects real costs, which Sanders ignores.
The pro-abortion argument is bad ethics and bad economics
OPINION: More than 100,000 people gathered in Washington last week for the March for Life. Spread across thousands of signs, the marchers’ central message was rooted in their indispensable belief in the right to life. That’s what the issue of abortion is and should be about: the basic right to life and the need for the strongest legal protections for those least able to protect themselves.
How the government could seize your credit cards
OPINION: Milton Friedman said, “One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.” Just as minimum wage laws intended to raise incomes for lower earners end up costing some of them their entire incomes, President Trump’s plan to cap credit card interest rates at 10% would dramatically limit access to borrowing for the 60% of borrowers without “superprime” credit. The hardest hit, however, will be those with poor credit who need credit.
COMMENTARY | Dick Van Dyke shouldn’t be the exception — Helping America’s seniors stay engaged | Texarkana Gazette
The fact that Dick Van Dyke turned 100 on Dec. 13 is remarkable enough. But the entertainment icon hasn't simply made it to the century mark; he's remained purposefully engaged in life and with those around him: acting, dancing, mentoring younger performers, and spreading joy to millions. Van Dyke is a reminder that aging does not diminish our capacity to contribute. In fact, it often enhances it.
