Memo to Congress: America's problem is not that government is too small. It's the spending, stupid!

In America, small business is a big deal.

The number of realists who are betting that both the 'economy gets healthy soon' and this government gets spending under control is a tiny group, indeed.

President Reagan, Jack Kemp and other advocates of supply-side economics understood that pro-growth tax, spending and economic policies were essential to America's long-term economic and fiscal health.

Maryland needs someone in Congress who will fight to create jobs, stop out-of-control government spending and defend small businesses.

During the campaign for re-election, Barack Obama at least made vague references to a willingness to accept $3 trillion of reduced spending in exchange for a $1 trillion dollar tax increase.
