In the Weekly Republican Address, Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming says the Obama Administration is saddling the nation with thousands of costly and burdensome regulations that are driven more by ideology than practicality. In the past six years, the administration has issued more than 2,500 new regulations that are expected to cost the American economy a staggering $680 billion. “You might ask, what do Americans get for all this time and money? One of EPA’s rules on power plants would cost as much as $2,400 for every $1 in direct benefits. This imbalance is a big reason why Americans’ wages have been stagnant since President Obama took office,” says Barrasso.

A majority of Senate Democrats and President Obama are approving a deal with a country whose supreme leader is still chanting "death to America." Who really got what they wanted? #BadIranDeal

The more Americans learn about the president's Iran deal, the more they realize that this deal is a threat to the safety, stability, and security of the United States and our allies.

Eight months into the Republican-led Congress, Republicans have changed the way Washington operates, U.S. Sen. John Thune of South Dakota says in the Weekly Republican Address. From passage of a balanced budget and major trade legislation to approval of a highway funding bill and historic education reform, Republicans have brought both parties together to solve many of the challenges facing American families, Thune says. “In all, we‘ve passed more than 80 bills to grow our economy, protect our nation’s citizens, strengthen our security, and reform government. And we’re just getting started,” says Thune, who is chairman of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee and the Senate Republican Conference.
