Cagle Post: Cut, Cap, and Balance Vote Today

Today the House of Representatives will be voting on one of the most important pieces of legislation that it will take up in the 112th Congress.

80% Of Americans Want A Tax Increase?

There he goes again.  President Obama today laughably claimed that 80 percent of Americans want a tax increase to help bring down our nation’s debt.
