Conservatives: Continue to fight for what is right for America.

From heritage.org


Americans are disappointed. They are disappointed that the debate over our debt limit was about the needs of politicians instead of the needs of the country. They are disappointed with a broken government that refuses to fix itself. And they are disappointed that the Budget Control Act that passed the House last night and is likely to pass the Senate today does not make the transformative changes this nation requires.

There are several elements of this plan that are simply unacceptable, even when framed inside the narrow political confines that limited a better outcome (i.e., the White House and Senate are still controlled by spend-tax-and-borrow liberals).

  • No AAA Reassurance
  • Irresponsible Defense Cuts
  • More Tax Hikes
  • An Unclear Balanced Budget Approach
  • Punting Responsibility

Given the framework we are now living under, and the water that has passed under the proverbial bridge, it is now up to conservatives to:

  • Pursue Entitlement Reform.
  • Pursue Revenue-Neutral Tax Reform
  • Maintain a Strong Military to Defend America
  • Get Serious About Spending and Regulation

The Heritage Foundation has published “Saving the American Dream: The Heritage Plan to Fix the Debt, Cut Spending, and Restore Prosperity.” The Heritage plan does what Congress should have done and failed to do.

Conservatives: Continue to fight for what is right for America.
