I spoke with WLFI, News 18 last night in a phone interview about the "fiscal cliff" negotiations and the (then) likely Senate legislation. The "fiscal pothole" as I call it pales in comparison to the trajectory we are in if we don't reform entitlement spending.Representative Todd Rokita shared a link.

On behalf of my family and the rest of Team Rokita - Merry Christmas!Representative Todd Rokita shared a link.
It's Christmas Eve morn, but as Greg says "Let's get to work friends." Take a listen to me live on Garrison at 10:00 am on 93.1 WIBC-FM.- We owe it to Hoosier farmers, businesses and working families to provide certainty by permanently stopping a hike in the death tax and permanently extending current tax rates and other provisions. By failing to act, the House has missed a great opportunity to grow our economy by reforming the tax code.
But let’s be clear: tax reform alone won’t come close to solving our debt crisis – only cutting spending and reforming the drivers of our debt will. This entire debate has missed the point about the true fiscal cliff we face: the $100 trillion in entitlement spending coming down the pike for our children. Until both sides in Washington understand this, we will face an ever-worsening fiscal crisis. Representative Todd Rokita shared a link.
Short, but thoughtful read on Social Security reform from The Heritage Foundation's Morning Bell. 3 proposed fixes - Fix the annual inflation adjustment, Increase the full retirement age, and Focus benefits on those who most need them. Take a look and get beyond "don't touch Social Security" and let me know what you thinkRepresentative Todd Rokita shared a link.
The trend in multiemployer pensions unfortunately mirrors what we’re seeing in entitlement programs like Social Security – fewer and fewer active workers are paying to support an increasing number of retirees. With fewer people paying into ...the system, and with more companies struggling to meet their obligations because of the weak economy, taxpayers are facing billions of dollars in future obligations to keep these pension plans solvent.See MoreRepresentative Todd Rokita shared a link.
Another on-point column by John Stossel. "It's the spending, stupid" sums up the adult conversation Hoosiers are having about government spending and the true drivers of our debt.
"People will have to see the wisdom of giving up government benefits now -- in exchange for something more abstract: a future free society in which our children won't be burdened by debt and taxes."Representative Todd Rokita shared a link via HootSuite.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the sudden death of Mark Kiesling. He served the people of Indiana well through his tough reporting and commentary that exposed corruption and shed light on many of the critical issues of the day. He was one... of the good guys, fighting the same corruption that we were in the Secretary of State’s office.
As a fellow Munster High graduate and long-time Lake County citizen, I know that Mark did the region proud through his life’s work. We will miss his unique insights, and I join many others in offering my condolences to his family.See MoreRepresentative Todd Rokita shared a link via HootSuite.

Some new converts are finally "getting it" on halting the Hoosier job-killing Medical Device Tax that they passed as part of ObamaCare in 2009.
I have no idea why they voted for something they knew to be so detrimental to our economy, but I'm glad to have their help... finally.
The House passed the Medical Device Tax repeal 188 days ago.Representative Todd Rokita shared a link.
Why does the President and his Administration want to limit consumer healthcare choices?
"Tools like these put control over health care in the hands of doctors, patients, and families. In the process, they can help save the healthcare system money."
