Federal Spending Trend is Not Good for the Economy
May 14, 2008

From 2002 to 2008, federal outlays will have increased by an average annual rate of 6.7 percent. That's roughly two-and-one-half times the average rate of inflation. This means a lot more money is being siphoned by government, and that's not good for the economy.

 Congress Should Follow Hawaii's Pass at Costly, Undemocratic Scheme


As seen on FoxBusiness.com 

Labor union bosses are banking heavily on Democrats keeping control of the Congress, and one sitting in the White House in 2009 so they can advance their top legislative priority - the "card check" bill. "Card check" is a scheme that would take away an employee's right to a private vote in the workplace with respect to union representation. Naturally, with union membership tanking, the unions like this approach. It would be mandated.  Karen Kerrigan lauds Governor Linda Lingle's veto of a state "card check" bill, and urges the U.S. Congress to follow Hawaii's lead in rejecting such a measure.

The growth of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) is accelerating in the marketplace. Many individuals and small business owners who previously could not afford health insurance now have coverage thanks to the HSA option. Yet, a congressional hearing this week has been designed to blast HSAs. No wonder the approval ratings of Congress keep hitting historical lows.
