Avik Roy: Let's Go Over the Cliff

Avik Roy, a senior fellow with the Manhattan Institute says going over the cliff won't be such a bad thing.

Let Senator Portman Know You Stand with Him against Tax Hikes

As Congress and the White House negotiate solutions to avoid the fiscal cliff it is important to note the important role Ohio's Rob Portman will play. Senator Portman is deeply involved in budget matters; having served as member of the House Ways and Means Committee, as the head of the Office of Management and Budget (holding the distinction as the last OMB to propose a balanced budget), and currently as a member of the Senate Budget Committee.   Senator Portman has a long history of steadfast commitment to fiscal responsibility, but faces a steady drumbeat from within Washington and the media to raise taxes and ignore the root causes of our budget imbalance - overspending.  We know and trust Senator Portman as a voice for responsibility. Beyond the looming fiscal cliff, President Obama is now calling for another round of "stimulus" spending - to follow up on the first two failed rounds of "Quantitative Easing."  Read about that here. Please contact Senator Portman today and encourage him to stand firm in his no tax-hike position.  His constituent contact page is here.  Or call his Cincinnati office at (513) 684-3265.
