Dwaynes story: A brighter future

12/25/2020

Comments

 
Meet Dwayne. He is a cardiologist in Oklahoma City who has spent his entire life caring for and saving the lives of Oklahomans with heart diseases—a task that became exponentially harder when the Oklahoma government shut down “elective surgeries” at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Among the patients being turned away—people with large high-risk aneurysms and people with high-risk carotid artery diseases and lesions.


In a normal world, these types of patients would be deemed “urgent” and receive surgeries, because death could be imminent if an aneurysm ruptured or an artery closed up. Dwayne recalled one patient ultimately had a life-changing heart attack.

Joe Biden has put together an energy plan that looks to achieve net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions over four years, and net-zero emissions for the entire economy by no later than 2050. This proposal would cost an estimated $2 trillion, according to the Biden campaign, by increasing government subsidies for nontraditional energy sources.

Spending restraint may benefit 2022 state budget

12/25/2020

Comments

 
Modest state spending restraint, prompted last spring in the face of an unprecedented pandemic-driven economic shutdown, may make dealing with this year’s state budget slightly easier, although it will not eliminate budget challenges.


Because of the unusual circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the spending levels authorized by the board last February were soon understood to be wildly inflated, and the group met a second time in April and urged lawmakers to spend far less than the amount authorized.

Meet Marcus, a Tulsa native, who runs Sangha—which is Sanskrit for “community.” It’s a sober-living house where around six men, who are working to kick their addictions, live.

Among the 30 states that have adopted private school-choice programs, five are using a new kind of school choice called Education Savings Accounts (ESAs). Oklahoma could have an ESA overnight by expanding its Digital Wallet program.

Defunding the police is not the answer

12/23/2020

Comments

 
Defunding the police is an unserious solution in search of a problem.


Last week, the issue of police violence erupted again with the death of Bennie Edwards. According to The Oklahoman, police responded to a call that a man was bothering customers outside a store.

"The solution is not more subsidies," writes OCPA's Policy Research Fellow, Kaitlyn Finley. "Rather, true price transparency and the elimination of unnecessary healthcare “middlemen” are needed to organically bring down health care costs and increase choice and quality in health care for all families."

    Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs

      For 25 years, OCPA has served as Oklahoma’s largest and most influential free-market based think tank. We conduct research and analysis of public issues in Oklahoma from a perspective of limited government, individual liberty, and a free-market economy.
      Over the years, OCPA has steadily increased in breadth, scope and ultimately, effectiveness. As long as government exists, there needs to be an organization to keep it accountable. In Oklahoma, we are that organization. And our policy work provides the road map for our state’s success.
      Policy matters because people matter. It matters that students attend high-quality schools. It matters that small business owners are free from red tape. It matters that government is responsible and limited. It matters that the most vulnerable have access to opportunity.
      And you matter to us.

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
