Washington can't agree on anything except spending your money

They just passed a 2,000-page spending bill that none of them actually read.

But why would they? It’s not their money.

Who says bipartisanship is dead?

Pennsylvania Rep: Bureaucrats write, enforce, and adjudicate laws... and they're totally unaccountable

Bureaucrats write the laws (they call them “regulations”).
Then they enforce the laws.
And when those laws are challenged, the courts have allowed them to re-interpret those laws.

This isn’t what the Founders wanted, and it has to stop.

This needs to stop.

Feds to regulate Christmas lights

Bureaucrats are just full of Christmas cheer, aren’t they?

Our federal agencies don't regulate because there's a need -- they do it simply because they can.

D.C. suburbs richer than Silicon Valley (and just about everyone else)

Check out the latest from Convention of States Action President Mark Meckler:

“Why would all of the wealth of this nation be centered around Washington, D.C.? What do they produce?

All they do is pillage the rest of the nation.

Plunder and pillage: that’s the primary industry of D.C. and its suburbs.”

And what do they produce?

12/23/2019

The federal government doesn’t exist to meet our needs. It exists to protect our liberties, and it’s time that we reminded Washington of its proper place.

How the Supreme Court became the most powerful branch of the federal government

We have long complained about illegitimate “judicial activism” and the ways it has undermined our self-governance. It is time for the states to use the tool the Constitution provides in Article V to curtail judicial tyranny once and for all.

For too long the courts have wielded almost omnipotent power. No more.

National debt keeps climbing, tops $23 trillion for first time in American history

If this feels like deja-vu, there’s a reason: only nine short months ago, we were announcing that the debt had topped $22 trillion.

That means the federal government has expanded the debt by $111.1 billion each month since February.

Here’s what else costs $111.1 billion…

Can you guess how long it's taken to add $1 trillion to the debt?
