Position Papers
The Budget Plan
The White House has just announced the new Fiscal Year 2011, with a projected deficit of 1.27 trillion dollars. Last year, the budget was announced with an estimated 1.17 trillion dollar deficit, and it now appears the actual number will be 1.60 trillion. Applying that same likely growth from projection to actual deficit, we are looking at a federal budget deficit likely to reach 1.74 trillion dollars this year.
Renewing American Prosperity
Our nation stands at a precipice. Over the last year, Congress has pressed radical policies that threaten our liberty, our prosperity, and the very stability of our free society. Growing unemployment, expanding government control, and an exploding deficit to pay for wasteful programs have created an environment of paralyzing uncertainty and accelerating decline. We must act.
Environment
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Fourth Assessment Report (Climate Change 2007) has recently been the subject of considerable criticism. For example.
