UPDATE:The liberal assault on conservative reform continues. FACT FICTION President Obama and his big-government allies would rather mislead the American people and make a campaign issue out of entitlement reform than actually rolling up their sleeves and contributing to the discussion. Liberal campaign organizations are spending millions in order to paint the Ryan Budget as "an end to Medicare." The DCCC has launched a campaign with the slogan, "VOTE REPUBLICAN...

The benefits of the free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea are clear, and Congress must resist the temptation to lard up these job-creating agreements with an ineffective and costly welfare program. In today's political and economic climate, Congress should embrace policies that create viable jobs without government largess and deficit spending. The free trade agreements would do just that by opening new opportunities for American businesses, which...

The NAT GAS Act (H.R.1380) lost another supporter yesterday, bringing the total number of defections to 14. With good conservatives pulling off the bill, it's worth exploring who actually supports the NAT GAS Act? You may be surprised to learn that nearly 1 in 10 supporters of the NAT GAS Act are also supporters of H.R.1084, the FRAC Act.

Our debt crisis was created by overspending, not undertaxing, and until Democrats in Washington accept that reality, we will make no progress in heading off this crisis. Leader Cantor and Senator Kyl did the right...

"NO" on America Invents Act (H.R. 1249)

The NAT GAS Act (H.R.1380) has caused quite a stir around Washington. As CQ (sub. req'd) writes, "Federal energy subsidies are under fire from conservative groups, and organizations including Heritage Action for America and the American Conservative Union are pressing Republicans to oppose the natural gas vehicle legislation as a costly and unnecessary government intrusion into energy markets." Last week, supporters released a letter claiming "American Businesses Endorse NAT GAS...

Debt negotiations are intensifying and conservatives are growing increasingly skeptical that the Obama administration and Democrats in Congress are willing to do what it takes to put America back on a path to prosperity. On Wednesday, Heritage Action's CEO Michael A. Needham sent a...

It's all debt ceiling all the time in Washington. The Senate canceled its July 4th recess so Senators can be in town. The House is back. And former President Bill Clinton has some advice for current President Barack Obama: don't blink. Don't blink on what? Tax increases. According to the Wall Street Journal, Democrats have proposed raising taxes by nearly $400 billion over the next decade. Of course, the tax...
