John Yarmuth: “Just a little bit of prevention would go such a long way towards cost savings.”

The fact is that the Clinton-Gingrich budgets worked, they reduced the inflation rate, they reduced the tax rate, they created jobs.

But temporary measures can't solve permanent problems.

When we passed welfare reform it was principled, work-oriented, a system wide overhaul, and it worked.

Given the current rate of inflation, the idea we ought to pile more money into the system is an almost suicidal act of hubris.
