Republicans must cut spending now

BY Jason Pye

Republicans go to Washington elected on a few key promises to their voters. Chief among these is cutting taxes and shrinking the government. Voters still believe that Republicans are the party of small government, and understandably so. When constituents have the most contact with their elected officials, it is during campaigns, which Republicans run time and time again on truly limited government principles. They advocate for getting the government out of health care, for returning power to the people, and for adhering to the Constitution. It is when Republicans actually get to Washington that most of them thus fail to keep most of their promises by voting against these conservative principles.

End the Fear-Mongering, Crime Is Going Down

BY Jason Pye

Perhaps one of the most misleading comments in the past few years is that the United States is seeing a new crime wave develop. Politicians who have long pushed for lengthier prison sentences seized on increases in violent crime and homicides in 2015 and 2016 as justification to oppose legislation in Congress that would bring rehabilitative programming designed to reduce recidivism to federal prisons and modestly reform federal sentencing laws.

Returning Competition to the US Energy Market

BY Adam Brandon

Competition is the bedrock of the U.S. market economy. It fosters innovation, which leads to greater investment, which then, in turn, leads to more innovation. This cycle goes on and on and continually produces better products at more affordable prices for consumers across the country. And, as this cycle creates more consumers, it also creates more high-paying jobs for businesses and entrepreneurs. Competition alone turns the wheels of prosperity in the United States.
