Karlyn Bowman and Andrew Rugg | May 3, 2013, 8:46 am

Fiddling while the Pentagon burns

Gary Schmitt | March 29, 2013, 10:14 am

Much has been made of the fact that the new spending bill passed by Congress this past month has given the Defense Department both $10 billion additional dollars to help alleviate the shortfalls in its operations and maintenance accounts and … read more >

Why these Pentagon cuts must be different

Charles Morrison | March 19, 2013, 2:31 pm

Editor’s Note: To attend AEI’s event on the defense drawdown on Thursday (3/21), please RSVP here. Despite over 18 months of assurances that sequestration was too devastating to go into effect, the Pentagon is now implementing nearly $500 billion in … read more >

The president who cried ‘Sequester!’

Marc Thiessen | March 4, 2013, 2:27 pm

The sequester is only four days old and it has already done untold damage — not to teachers, air traffic controllers, or the military, mind you, but to President Obama’s credibility. Obama has been caught in one misstatement after another … read more >

9 reasons why fears about sequestration are overblown

James Pethokoukis | March 4, 2013, 11:45 am

Here’s how the private sector deals with sequestration

James Pethokoukis | March 1, 2013, 9:07 am

David Blom is the CEO of OhioHealth, a Columbus, Ohio, based not-for-profit health care system that includes 18 hospitals. Because the 2% sequestration cuts to Medicare providers, OhioHealth will lose $12 million in revenue this year from Uncle Sam. In an … read more >

Lipstick on the pig

Tom Donnelly | February 27, 2013, 2:51 pm

Let’s face it: President Obama has performed a masterful jiu-jitsu move on the Republican Party, turning the Tea Party’s smaller-government energy of 2010 into a force that’s served to both expand and more deeply entrench entitlement programs while achieving a … read more >

The State of the Union, Obama style

Danielle Pletka | February 12, 2013, 3:19 pm

The press is reporting that tonight’s State of the Union will be light on defense and national security. Shocking. Indeed, the president is likely to spare little breath for previous commitments to extend free trade, prioritize victory in Afghanistan, roll … read more >

What just happened?

Tom Donnelly | February 11, 2013, 12:41 pm

How to reduce the deficit while avoiding a recession

John Makin | January 31, 2013, 9:45 am
