Under the Obama Administration, the EPA has aggressively levied job-killing regulations on affordable, proven energy sources. As we’ve learned with Georgia Power, EPA's war on coal will continue to cost American workers their jobs. Achievin...g energy independence is paramount to our economic prosperity and national security, and House Republicans will continue working toward a balanced approach to achieve that goal. http://energycommerce.house.gov/brand/war-on-coal-claims-more-casualtiesSee More- LikesSee All

As we begin the 113th Congress, one of my key initiatives remains dramatically reducing federal spending and government overreach, and changing the way we do business in Washington. To that end, I introduced legislation targeting laws or policies in need of reform. http://gingrey.house.gov/blog/?postid=316468- I opposed the Senate amendment regarding the fiscal cliff because it did not address spending, entitlement or tax reform in any meaningful way. Furthermore, it continues Washington's habit of kicking the can down the road, fails to provide certainty for job creators or protection for small businesses.

- As a father and grandfather, I am heartbroken at the tragedy in Newtown today. No parent, child, or community should have to suffer such devastation and overwhelming grief. All my thoughts and prayers are with their families today.

- I spoke today at the annual Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT meeting about the necessity of wide-spread adoption of health information technology.

In Case You Missed It: Gingrey Presses Social Security Administration on Procedures for Deferred Action Recipients- Our national debt, already at $16 trillion, continues to explode. If Washington does not chart a new course, by 2016, it will balloon to $22 trillion dollars. Rather than reining in federal spending, President Obama requested unchecked authority to continuing borrowing money from China and offered no specifics on spending cuts or entitlement reforms. Republicans aren’t simply fighting for taxpayers today—we are fighting for the futures of our children and grandchildren.

NFIB chief economist asks: “Between the lo...oming ‘fiscal cliff,’ the promise of higher healthcare costs and the endless onslaught of new regulations, owners have found themselves in a state of pessimism. We are forced to ask: is this the new normal?”See MorePhil Gingrey shared a link.
