By: George Will – nationalreview.com – April 1, 2018 Another fiscally ruinous entitlement is the last thing America needs. The recent bipartisan budget agreement, which indicates that ten-digit deficits are acceptable to both parties even when the economy is robust, indicates government’s future.

By: Merrill Matthews – ipi.org – March 6, 2018 As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump repeatedly promised to “drain the swamp” in Washington. It was one of his biggest applause lines, so it’s remarkable that he is pushing a proposal that is the very essence of the swamp. “Draining the swamp” can mean different things to different people, but one...
