Cordato tackles Obama energy, economic policies

President Obama’s energy policy includes a provision that would create a new tax hike on oil drilling. John Locke Foundation Vice President for Research and Resident Scholar Roy Cordato explained this provision in an entry for National Review Online’s primary blog, “The Corner.” Cordato’s analysis ended up attracting attention from Michelle Malkin, Lucianne.com, and the Ashbrook Center’s No Left Turns blog. In addition, the Washington Examiner published Cordato’s column explaining that the president’s decision to support reappoint of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke amounts to an endorsement of the Bush administration’s economic policies.
