Introduction
— Greg on the Issues
Civility
in American Politics
Far from weakness, civility demonstrates strength, resolve
and a far greater potential for producing good public policy.
The
Family and National Survival
Mother and father in the very act of providing for, protecting
and nurturing their children, teach these almost unconsciously
yet so profoundly that…we most often arrive at adulthood
valuing these vital elements of national survival.
Federal
Spending
Since every dollar we spend today that exceeds revenues
must someday be paid, imagine our children and grandchildren paying
the bill.
Runaway
Federal Regulation
Effectively, the unelected are doing the bulk of the law
making.
Federal
Income Taxes
Anyone who pays income taxes understands that the U.S.
tax system is broken.
Education
and Federal Intrusion
Amid all the turmoil and confusion, one of the most significant
steps in the right direction is unmistakably apparent. The federal
government needs to remove itself from the public education business.
Choice
in Education
By choice we mean that parental decisions rather than bureaucratic
regulation should drive the education enterprise.
Federalism
- Divided Powers
More than any time in history we need divided powers as
a foil and a protection against federal encroachment.
Abortion
The battle over abortion, the battle to protect the sanctity
of life itself, is not lost and, certainly, is not over.
The
Carrot and the Stick
We have created in this nation a breed of politicians who
practice what has become known as “transactional politics”
- the dealmakers.
.22-Caliber
in a .45-Caliber World
It is a shallow and empty refrain to suggest, let alone
argue, that any representative should pass this bar unchallenged.
Americans
Want to Believe
All of us want to believe, which is a step in the right
direction.
When
the Sun Shines at Noonday
Government and the world of politics is less about flag-waving
and patriotic band music than it is about the often raw use of
power.
Prescription
Drugs - A Massive Political Explosion is Building Among the American
Public
“It may come as no surprise that the pharmaceutical industry
is the most profitable business in the country. Americans pay
far more for their prescription drugs than citizens of any place
on Earth.” (CBS News - 60 Minutes.)
