David Dodson featured in Wyoming Student Paper, “Chinook” as they look at the potential voting power of college students building a sustainable economy..

The 2020 Elections will come down to what happens in a handful of schools, as student turnout may hold the key to victory or defeat.

Why is Congress allowing healthcare spending to run amok when it should join the top health outcome countries in using its purchase power to negotiate consumer discounts and make healthcare affordable for all not unattainable.

If students at LCCC don’t get angry and rise up at the ballot box soon (as in, really soon) they will eventually face the largest tax burden in economic history—and make no mistake it will have a profound effect on everything from affording a house to taking a vacation.

Liz Cheney's decision not to run for Wyoming’s senate seat, and the way all the other candidates in WY responded in fear, makes the best case I’ve seen in a long time for why we need Federal term limits.

In the WyoFile, I discuss the problems with governmental over-site of healthcare and how the healthcare industry's thumb on the scale of Congress is affecting your health.

It turns out that, in the United States, while it’s expensive to buy insulin it’s rather cheap to buy a senator.

Economic balance, healthcare, and coal, what Republicans have to learn.

We are entering an uncertain period, and we can be certain though that our own world will remain more dangerous as long as partisan loyalties are held above their greater responsibility to protect our system of checks and balances.

If students don’t get angry and rise up at the ballot box soon (as in, really soon) they will eventually face the largest tax burden in economic history—and make no mistake it will have a profound effect on everything from affording a house to taking a vacation.

In my regular column in the Casper Star-Tribune, and on an appearance with Fox News, I lay out the five lies we’re being told about the deficit and the case that Congress and the Treasury Secretary are cooking the books in a way that put Jeff Skilling of Enron in prison.

When Senator Mike Enzi, Republican of Wyoming, announced his retirement this month after four terms in the Senate, he set off a wave of political speculation similar to what we might expect from the retirement of a Supreme Court justice. After all — they’re both lifetime appointments.

Early in my 2018 campaign for US Senate, I found myself beside a rack of shotguns in Wheatland, Wyo., where a father told me that his son had been diagnosed with diabetes. The father was on Medicaid and disability. He had no insurance for his son, and during the past decade the price of insulin had risen 300 percent. For him, the choice was groceries or health insurance. “I don’t know what to do,” he admitted to his son. “No one cares about us little people.”

The Special Counsel missed the point. It’s clear that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. elections, but America would have been better off investigating how to protect our election process and defend democracy.

The late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said, “You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.” His words came to mind this month when the State Department issued its nine-page report on the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

Nancy Reagan Was Right…How to fix the broken US drug policy.

Gerrymandering is the biggest threat to voting rights of our generation, the problem is we’re all wrong in our approach to fixing it.

After the recent shootings in Dayton, OH and El Paso, TX, President Trump’s political instincts were to lead legislation to pass universal background checks. He told reporters, “I think we can get something good done,” and announced that Sen. Mitch McConnell was “totally on board.” Let’s hope for the sake of the Republican Party and gun owners that he doesn’t change his mind.

The trade war’s long-term legacy will be felt by our farmers for a generation. Because when President Donald Trump miscalculated that he could tweet out a 280-character tariff threat and bring China quickly to its knees, he unwittingly set in motion an expansion of soybean capacity that will permanently change global production and prices.

Blackjewel’s recent bankruptcy has left 700 workers without a paycheck, and was the sixth of its kind in only four years. While our delegation in Washington has offered their sympathies to struggling families, what Campbell County and our state economy really need is a plan, not condolences. 

Here’s one: rejoin the Paris Agreement.
