On the Power of the President to Appoint his Magistrates

America’s shipbuilding industry has been treated as if it is in hospice rather than infirmary care, receiving only the bare minimum to sustain operations while its workers and equipment age into dysfunction.

Medicaid has extended health-care coverage to millions of people beyond the intended initial population of children, the elderly, the disabled, and those who are truly in need. It has instead become a benefit hammock for many who would otherwise not qualify.

Opponents of reform claim that any changes to the Medicaid program are massive “cuts” that will cause beneficiaries harm. In reality, the opposite is true: Failing to change a program with such rapidly exploding costs will only result in the unsustainability that ultimately harms its recipients.
