    Faced with such a desperate situation, the worst thing that the President and Congress can do is allow tax rates to increase, as they are scheduled to do at the end of the year.

    “Over all, the job market is still very weak, with an estima...
    ted 3.9 million people having either dropped out of or never entered the work force after leaving school, on top of 12 million people who are officially unemployed and 8.2 million who are stuck in part-time jobs.”

    ObamaCare will force 7 million beneficiaries out of Medicare Advantage by 2017. Not only will seniors lose the plans they have and like, but they will be forced back into traditional Medicare: an uncoordinated, inefficient, and severely outdated program.

    Today, as President Obama heads to Detroit to renew his call for $1.6 trillion in higher taxes, including higher tax rates, Main Street job creators are sharing first hand what the impact of the President’s proposal means to them and the men and women working alongside them – their employees.

    Add the president’s latest tax hike plan to the ObamaCare taxes already happening, and you're looking at a $20,000 tax hike per family!

    President Obama visits Michigan just one day after a Chinese company buys bankrupt A123 Systems, a company which received $380 million in stimulus funds. Obama is asking for more stimulus funds in his 'fiscal cliff' proposal. Is this the responsible thing to do with your hard-earned tax dollars?
    Auction for A123 Systems Won by Wanxiang Group of China
    www.nytimes.com
    Wanxiang Group, a large Chinese auto parts maker, won a high-stakes auction on Sunday for assets of A123 Systems, the bankrupt American battery maker that was a centerpiece of the Obama administration’s loan program for electric vehicles.

    Today, an historic Texas Courthouse built in 1902 rises from the ashes of a devastating fire. This Second Empire Style structure is considered one of the handsomest courthouses in East Texas and the citizens of Newton should be proud of their efforts to restore it. It is my honor to be with them today. — at Newton County.

    The unemployment rate fell in November because 350,000 people gave up looking for work and dropped out of the labor force, not because significant numbers of Americans found jobs. In fact, the survey that is used to calculate the unemploym...
    ent rate showed that employment actually fell by 122,000 last month. Throughout the Obama Administration, Americans have been dropping out of the labor force in droves. This has led to significant “invisible” unemployment, as jobless individuals are no longer counted as officially unemployed once they have dropped out of the labor force and are no longer searching for work. If these “invisible unemployed” individuals were in the official labor force, they would be counted as officially unemployed – raising the current 7.7 percent unemployment rate to almost 11 percent.

    Due to the size of the American workforce, gaining 146,000 jobs per month just won’t cut it. The country is still more than 4 million jobs short of its peak of 138 million in January 2008. As the Brookings Institution chart below shows, a...
    t this pace, it will take well past 2025 until all the jobs lost during the last recession are recovered. At over 16 years, this would be more than twice as long as it took to recover the jobs lost during the Great Depression.

    Today we mark a day of infamy in our history by remembering those who answered the call of duty.
    Today, in remembrance of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, we want to honor Lieutenant Annie Fox, who was awarded the first Purple Heart for combat ever given to a woman. She received it for her services with Pearl Harbor as the chief nurse at the Army Nurse Corps.

    If no action is taken, then bankruptcy is the future for Social Security. If we're going to protect Social Security benefits for current recipients and secure them for future generations, we must act now to find a long-term solution.

    One more example of the true cost of Obamacare. How many more hidden costs will be revealed over time? Unfortunately, it seems that Nancy Pelosi was correct when she said we had to pass it before we could find out what was in it.

    Businesses are taking action to avoid the damage from the deeply unpopular ObamaCare law and all its mandates. The incentives and penalties in ObamaCare are so poorly designed that it may force many companies in Texas to consider the same action. Do you believe ObamaCare cuts should be on the table in the fiscal cliff negotiations?

    ember state is another step backward in peace, another roadblock, another counter-productive act that makes it more difficult to reach a long-lasting resolution. It’s telling also, that President Obama’s last-moment promise of personal engagement was rejected flatly by the Palestinians. I wish we had real leadership on this issue from the White House rather than lectures to our long-time ally Israel.

    Today, the House is voting on three bills to force the Department of Homeland Security to come clean with the American people. One bill would require DHS tell Americans how secure our borders are and how many people are in our country illegally, including real numbers for those who came in illegally last year or voluntarily left the US. A second bill formally establishes a Border Enforcement Secur...
    ity Task Force program to crack down on cross border crime by working with local and state law enforcement. The third bill creates an independent panel to comprehensively assess DHS’s management to stop repeats of the Secure Border Initiative Network’s $1 billion in wasted taxpayer dollars that delayed the deployment of technologies need to secure our border with Mexico.
    Less than half of our southern border and just one percent of our northern border is reportedly under ‘operational control.’ Do you find that acceptable?
