Conservative Leaders to Congress: Oppose Any Budget Deal That Raises Spending Levels or Increases Revenue

Breitbart.com: America Needs A Real Budget Process

The government shutdown is over and the political elites in Washington, D.C. decided to pass a short-term budget, known as a Continuing Resolution, while fully funding Obamacare.

Bigger and Bigger Deficits

More bad news shows the fiscal well-being of America is steadily on the decline. The government reported that May’s budget deficit was $125 billion. This catastrophic number is more than double the amount for the month of May just last year. At a time when the financial stability of our economy is delicate and the […]

Cagle Post: Three Years of Failure

The last time the United States Senate passed a budget was three years ago on April 29, 2009.
