We’re over $15 trillion in debt with billions being added every day. But a new year is cause for new hope. 2012 brings an election where conservatives can ensure that Congress is full... Read More

by Joe Wilson on October 15, 2011Finally! It looks like a Democrat gets it (or at least partially). Former President Bill Clinton said this past week that he does not believe the government should raise taxes on anyone due to the lack of growth in our economy. Regretfully, he later added that taxes should increase when the economy recovers. But at least he’s halfway to the truth on the... Read More
