Obama acts as though we no longer have a Constitution
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley may be more skilled at implementing President Obama's agenda than the White House itself. The Democratic governor is bringing the same big-spending, high-tax and class-warfare policies to the Free State. It's going to cost residents a bundle.
Maryland increased government spending this year more than any state in the mid-Atlantic region, according to a study released Tuesday.
When it comes to encouraging prosperity, the Old Dominion is trouncing the Old Line State. The American Legislative Exchange Council this week released a "Rich States, Poor States" report that modeled the 50 states and ranked the economic outlook in each. Virginia secured a third-place slot while neighboring Maryland lagged midpack at 21. That's no accident.
