Two health policy questions coming before the House Committee on Families and Veterans.
Would the MEs of 20 years ago agree that Reagan's quote applied to their profession?
Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
Is it better to tie the hands of local transporters, or the troubled children they're trying to help?
We self-govern in three ways: with self-control in our personal lives, by intelligently electing representative officials from among ourselves, and by upholding constitutional principles in the American way of life.
Without basic self-control, there is no freedom.
