It is a mixed bag for Republicans in Congress these days. On the one hand, we are thrilled so far with our legislative progress on important issues. The Republican House and Senate overwhelmingly passed a plan that will balance the Federal budget in 7 years, save the Medicare program from certain bankruptcy, while actually spending more on benefits to seniors and give $245 billion in well deserved tax relief to the American people. On the other hand, despite this truly historic record of accomplishment. Congressional Republicans are taking a beating in the polls and in the national news media.
