We've said it before, and we'll say it again: All earmarks represent special interests. And far too many are expensive paybacks for campaign contributors. Finally, this idea might be getting some broader traction. According to Politico: "Watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has demanded that the Justice Department release files from investigations of Reps. Don Young (R-Alaska) and Jerry Lewis (R-Calif.) ..."

Under President Obama, the national debt has increased by $6 trillion. By the time young people - known in many discussions as "millennials" - reach retirement are, the debt will be nearly 250% of our country's GDP. In a special opinion piece in Politico, Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Jaime Herrera Beutler, Adam Kinzinger, and Aaron Schock share their thoughts on why the path we're on is "unacceptable and unsustainable".

Oh, Look! The President's Jobs Bill Does Exist!

Last week, I chronicled my search for President Obama's jobs bill. It took me more than two weeks, but I managed to track it down, finally, as a real and introduced bill on which Congress could take action. Except they couldn't. The problem last week was that the Government Printing ...

Meet the Most Expensive Intern in the World

I've never had an intern. To be honest, I could probably use one, what with all the writing, podcasting, more writing, and working social media like Leopold Stokowski in front of a symphony orchestra, but there are rules to getting an intern. You have to be able to give them ...

Bipartisanship: A Four-Letter Word?

Relevance Score: 1.587    2013-12-11 16:46:01

"The 'Bipartisan Budget Act' reminds us why bipartisanship is sometimes a four-letter word. Bipartisanship in DC usually just means that the size of government is growing, and that appears to be true with this compromise as well. We would have preferred that the full amount of the sequester cuts had remained intact. But what do fiscal conservatives expect? Does anyone actually believe a bill negotiated by Paul Ryan and Jeff Sessions wouldn't be infinitely better than a Patty Murray-Paul Ryan bill? The way to fix that is simple -- we must put fiscal conservatives in charge of the Senate -- and the way to do that is obvious. First, stop attacking Senators who favor cutting spending, balancing the budget and repealing Obamacare. Second, go on the offense and take the battle to those Democratic Senators who consistently vote for higher taxes, more spending, and bigger government."

Ever since President Obama stood before Congress on September 8 and demanded that it pass his non-existent jobs bill that very minute I have been on the search for the bill. Like any responsible citizen, I wanted to read it for myself, rather than rely on anyone else's word on ...

That's right. The first earmark ever requested was vetoed by President James Madison, who called the spending unconstitutional. Jim Cox writes: "The first known Member of Congress to write a bill specifically requesting an appropriation of funds for a specific project was Congressman John C. Calhoun of South Carolina (7th Vice President of the United States) who requested funds in 1817 under the Bonus Bill for 'internal improvements.'"
