u.s. congressman Mac Thornberry.com serving the people of the 13th district of texas

In 2012, much of the conversation in Congress will focus on the size and role of government in our lives.  This debate is a necessary conversation given our massive debt and deficit and the unprecedented growth of government since the President took office in 2009.  It is also a promising opportunity to get our country on the right track.

As the House gets set to begin its work, I wanted to share 2012’s first video mailbox segment with you.  In this edition, I answer questions about the Capital Gains Tax, share some details about a new "tax fact" section featured on my website, and respond to a constituent's concern about possible reductions in the strength of our nation's military. 

Additionally, I discuss the need to reform some of the entitlement programs, which continue to consume more and more of the federal budget.  If we are serious about getting our fiscal house in order, commonsense entitlement reform must be on the table.

I invite you to learn more about these issues by watching this edition of the video mailbox.  Have a question you would like answered?  Please contact me by phone, e-mail, letters, or on Facebook and Twitter.

I hope you'll join my page on Facebook and share this feature with your friends.
