Pence: "The Democrat plan for financial regulatory reform is nothing more than a permanent bailout and a job-killer, and it must be opposed."
20 hours ago ago from DEMOCRATS for SALE

Republicans are standing up against a permanent bailout and job-killer plan proposed by liberal Democrats. What we would like to know is how many moderate Democrats in the House are going to vote with Pelosi and their leadership on this bill? Or does Democrat leadership plan to allow so many Democrats to vote against the bill and keep just ...

The House vote to renew a bunch of popular tax exemptions - including deductibility of Tennessee sales taxes from the federal income tax - won approval in the U.S. House on a generally partisan vote. In the Tennessee delegation, all five Democrats voted yes, all four Republicans voted no.

John Fund: The Senate's compromise bill on health care was announced on Wednesday to much fanfare. But there's not much there for moderate Democrats to write home about. It waters down a provision creating a "public option," but it also expands (to include people over 55) Medicare, a program already expected to go bankrupt in 2017. The Senate bill is so unwieldy that the health-care system it will create will almost certainly break ...
