  4. More bogus budget cuts?

    I was surprised and pleased to see David Fahrenthold's article on the federal "cuts in spending" approved in 2011 ("'Smoke & mirrors,'" Feb. 24). I wished he would have pointed out the added smoke and mirrors that persists from this president. President...

  7. Payroll tax cuts? Not necessarily

    All I hear these days are complaints that the federal government has raised taxes, dimishing take-home pay. That’s true: The payroll tax holiday was not extended. That holiday cut Social Security contributions and the like, amounting to a 2-...

  9. City faces challenge of finding ongoing revenue

    You may be aware that Kentucky law requires cities to operate in the black. We must have a budget, and we must balance that budget year in and year out. It’s a challenging but good law. In fact, most people I talk with say they wish all levels of...

  10. Democrats missed their chance with Ashley Judd

    Wiser Democratic heads prevailed last week as actress Ashley Judd was nudged out of the race to unseat Mitch McConnell, Kentucky's senior Republican senator. Did the eyes in those heads ever see Judd in "Double Jeopardy," one of the great damsel-in-distress movies of all time?

  12. Remove Medicare's straitjacket

    Now that the budget "sequester" is in effect, Congress is shifting its attention to entitlement reform. There's simply no way to achieve long-term reductions in federal spending without touching the big health programs, particularly Medicare. Although raising the age of Medicare eligibility from 65 to 67 appears off the table, at least for now, the budget plan that Rep. Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) is proposing would shift a greater share of the program's growing costs to beneficiaries in the years to come.
