Dependency Depends on You
13 hours ago
The debt crisis is at the top of nearly everyone's mind lately, but there is another crisis that needs attention: the dependency crisis. The Heritage Institute recently released the 2012 Index of Dependence on Government, which, as you might have guessed, shows that dependency has grown rapidly in the last ten years.

Senator Jon Tester recently invited Congressman Denny Rehberg in a ban on third-party ads. You can hear the details of the offer from the Communications Director of the Tester Campaign, Aaron Murphy.
