Brian Higgins: “The United States in some estimates spent $1.9 trillion in Iraq.”

Congress' inability to make a budget fully with approved appropriations bills virtually every single year... hurts the world economy as well.

I am so encouraged by the direction this Congress is taking from a bipartisan perspective to push forward, quite righteously, the Social Security Fairness Act to eliminate WEP and GPO.

We are not moving forward, we are going backwards.

The American economy is--we are 25 percent of the world's economy.
