If Republicans don't like Obama's jobs bill, let them vote it down and then explain it to the American people
I read recently that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor not only declared President Obama's American Jobs Act dead, he refuses to even take a vote on it.

We need a 'weapons BRAC'
The American defense community stands at a crossroads. The need to trim the defense budget, as Defense Secretary Robert Gates recently put it, is a "matter of simple arithmetic and political reality."

On debt limit, Congress plays with fire
I am deeply distressed by the willingness of our politicians to engage in brinkmanship merely to score political points. The threat to the U.S. economy from a default on the national debt is simply too dangerous to be playing political games. There is...Tags: Budgets and Budgeting, Michele M.
