The Washington Post is left-wing, but it has correctly described what the Obama budget will cost taxpayers. In an editorial (The Budget Gimmick’s Return, March 26, 2009) referring to attempts by the House and Senate budget committees to disguise the size of future deficits, the Post says "Like Mr. Obama, the Democrats in Congress want to spend more on education, energy and other popular programs. Like Mr. Obama, they don’t want to level with voters about the need to pay for such programs through increased taxes."

On the same day’s op-ed page, Alice Rivlin (Clinton’s Director of the Office of Management and Budget) points out that the Obama taxes on energy use and charitable donations "will not fully compensate for the rising spending" and goes on to recommend tax increases on those with incomes below $250,000. Just above her column, E. J. Dionne says that Obama should "come right out and say we’ll need broad-based tax increases", but recognizes that such honesty "would be suicidal" politically.

President Obama was elected by telling Americans almost all of them would receive a bigger tax cut from him than from John McCain. His budget puts the lie to his promise. Americans will pay the cost of Obama’s budget, either directly through taxes or indirectly through inflation that might exceed even that of the Carter administration.

Americans overwhelmingly agree that restoration of the "Fairness Doctrine" would be a form of censorship, according to a poll conducted by The Conservative Caucus (TCC).

Ninety-four percent described the Fairness Doctrine as a "very serious threat" to freedom of speech, and 92% believed it would force many radio stations to cancel conservative talk shows. Only 2% thought that Congressional supporters were honestly concerned with fairness, while 98% said that the purpose was to "shut down conservative radio".

Earlier this month, an attempt to amend the omnibus appropriations act to prohibit restoration of the Fairness Doctrine was defeated in the Senate, 50-47.

The Fairness Doctrine, originally adopted with the stated intention of regulating radio and TV in order to provide balanced coverage, was revoked by the Federal Communications Commission during the Reagan administration on free speech grounds.

The poll was conducted by mail during January and February with about 6,000 responses.

The Conservative Caucus (TCC) is a grass roots action organization, formed in 1974. It was active in defeating the SALT II Treaty, repealing the Catastrophic Coverage Act, blocking the Clinton health-care takeover, and impeaching President Clinton.

Americans want English to be the nation’s official language according to a poll conducted by The Conservative Caucus Foundation (TCCF). Ninety-nine percent of those responding to the poll supported making English the official language.

There was also 96% support for revoking Executive Order 13166 (issued by President Clinton) which required Federal, state, and local government agencies to conduct more of their business in other languages. Ninety-nine percent agreed that it is "patriotic and for the good of all immigrants to learn our nation’s unifying language."

The tax burden of illegal immigrants who do not speak English was a concern to 99%, and 99% opposed continuing to provide government forms in a language other than English.

The poll was conducted by mail during early 2009 and received about 3,000 responses.

The Conservative Caucus Foundation (TCCF), founded in1976, has published studies on many public policy issues, including some concerning Red China, the Panama Canal, the START treaties, and SDI.
