Too often, while well-intentioned, our poverty programs fail the poor. They fail them by keeping them in cycles of dependency.

I enjoyed working with Ted Kennedy.

As we consider the fast pace of scientific and technological progress in our modern world, we must not lose our moral compass and give way to 'free market eugenics'.

The moral argument is that we give big business a huge tax break, and why do we do it? To get their jobs.

Federal waste is a grave disservice to hardworking taxpayers across our great nation, and yet our governmental bureaucracies are riddled with it - whether through unnecessary, duplicative, inefficient, outdated, or failed agencies and programs.
