Well, in a move surprising to essentially no one, the spineless and worthless GOP leadership has caved AGAIN on offering even a semblance of fiscal responsibility, instead deciding to fund government with a CR (continuing resolution) until December. And then we all know how this theater ends…....
We have ongoing signs that the economy continues to falter…but you don’t need charts to tell you that. We see it everyday, all around us. We need to go forward with ideas based in sound economic policy, not redistribution and fake/crony capitalism. And it all starts in your local cities/...
