David Brooks, the in-house “conservative” at the New York Times, nailed it on a Sunday talk show when he said it’s a hyper political view of everything that’s the real scandal of the Obama administration.
“Second terms are generally hit with scandals,” Brooke said on Meet the Press. “In the Obama administration, you’re not going to have a monetary scandal. These people are not financially corrupt. You’re not going to have a sexual scandal. But they are very politica...

By Rep. John A. Boehner
Monday night, hardworking moms and dads will gather around their kitchen tables, parsing the bills one by one to budget for gas, groceries, mortgage payments, a school trip, a child’s birthday party. Small-business owners do the same every day — poring over their books to find ways to cut costs without cutting jobs. As the slowest economic recovery of the past half-century grinds on, Americans are making sacrifices to make ends meet. They’re doing more with less a...

Another Democrat senator shows us why we need a change in control of the Senate in 2014

Also, whether a particular member of the electorate knows it or not, government debt is created not by a lack of taxes, b...

ICYMI, on Tax Day, Heritage provided a useful chart showing federal spending, by percent, laid out on an image of a dollar bill. As it happens, we at Western Free Press did the same thing last year. Below are the two charts. Notice how entitlement spending is going up (this time, Social Security)? Note that eventually, entitlement spending will crowd out all other spending, consuming all revenue.

Disappointing 2.5 percent growth falls short

The government reported Friday that the economy grew by 2.5 percent in the first quarter, up from a dismal 0.4 percent at the end of last year. Yet a look at the details of the report shows a still fragile economy without much hope of progress for the rest of the year.

65 Days Late, Way More Than A Dollar Short
Arlington, Va. – The White House today released its budget for fiscal year 2014.

Despite a $230 billion cut in entitlement spending, the administration’s budget still fails to balance.
