“Obama has demonstrated no desire to make tough choices. Americans demand a more efficient, effective government, but his budget calls for more taxes and more spending. It employs deceptive accounting gimmicks but does nothing to tackle long-term entitlement problems, nothing to save Medicare or fix Social Security.” LongDoeProblemGovernmentDesireChoicesSocialTermSecurityDemandTaxesToughSpendingBudgetsLong TermEfficientSocial SecurityEntitlementAccountingMedicareSave MeDeceptiveGimmicksTough Choices Author:Reince Priebus

“Law and order is a social service. Crime and the fear which the threat of crime induces can paralyse whole communities, keep lonely and vulnerable elderly people shut up in their homes, scar young lives and raise to cult status the swaggering violent bully who achieves predatory control over the streets.
