“We are witnessing one of the most important struggles in modern America.” Newt Gingrich wrote that this morning, and he is absolutely right.

Only Two Ways Out
Pat Buchanan hit the nail on the head this morning when he called public sector unions “the taxpayer-subsidized armies of the Democratic Party.” That’s why the Democrats are hell bent on not allowing Governor Scott Walker to shut down the ability of Wisconsin’s unions to collectively bargain.

Largest Deficit Since WWII
Almost two years ago, President Barack Obama announced that he would cut the budget deficit in half by the end of his first term.

The red-hot movie, about the 2008 financial markets collapse, was financed through the Lurie’s charitable foundation. The foundation’s goal is to fund movies that examine tough global issues in […]
