"The American Dream is in peril so long as its namesake is weighed down by this anchor of debt. Break its hold, and we begin to set our economy free. Jobs will come home. Confidence will come back. We do this not just to boost GDP or red...uce unemployment, but to secure for our children a future of freedom and opportunity. Nothing is more important." http://www.speaker.gov/video/full-text-speaker-boehner-addresses-opening-session-113th-congressSee More

The House of Representatives will vote today on two measures to shield families and small businesses from the looming “fiscal cliff” by cutting spending and protecting millions from tax hikes. The Spending Reduction Act of 2012 (H.R. 6684) ...replaces the president’s defense ‘sequester’ with common-sense spending cuts and reforms, and reduces the deficit by an additional $242 billion over the original sequester. And the Permanent Tax Relief for Families and Small Businesses Act of 2012 (H.J. Res. 66) permanently protects millions of taxpayers from President Obama’s tax rate hikes.
