The United States has a balanced budget for the first time in a generation, taxpayers will keep more of their hard-earned money next year, the IRS had its wings clipped and Medicare will remain solvent into the next century. Every Hoosier wins under these accomplishments.
Big government is the only loser.
The FDA Modernization Act, which streamlined procedures at the Food and Drug Administration to allow patients' quicker, easier access to lifesaving medicines and medical devices. The Working Families Flexibility Act, which would give private sector employers and employees the opportunity to choose between paid time off and overtime pay when working more than 40 hours a week, as long as both parties agree. This measure passed the House, but did not clear the Senate. Three years after voters rejected the status quo, the federal government is slimmer, more efficient and more responsive to the people it represents. That is a victory for every American.
