A Vote to Prevent the Largest Tax Increase in American History
December 16, 2010

Drilling Moratorium is a Shortsighted Response
June 04, 2010
The oil spill in the Gulf is a tragedy in every sense of the word. The images coming from the Gulf are distressing, and the deaths of 11 workers on the Deepwater Horizon rig are heartbreaking. However, it is very important to remember that this accident is an anomaly. The human error and/or failure of the rig’s state-of-the-art equipment require a complete explanation, and the cleanup operation deserves our full support. Still, we cannot afford to further harm our nation’s economy by halting our offshore drilling, which is why I am calling on President Obama to lift his recently imposed six month moratorium on deepwater drilling and asked that he refrain from imposing a moratorium on shallow water drilling.

Op-Ed: Reaction to offshore oil spill can go overboard
May 18, 2010

What is unquestionably more dangerous is the prospect of this incident being politicized. Senator Bill Nelson of Florida has already asked the President to impose a moratorium on all new offshore drilling.

“Repeating Mistakes of the Past?”
March 09, 2010
Financial expert Lance Roberts notes: “We currently have a lot more things in common with the mistakes made in Japan over two decades ago than most economists and main stream thinkers would like to admit. The bubbles in both real estate and equity markets were nearly identical. The same story holds true in the equity markets. The inflation adjusted prices over the decade prior to the peak were identical.”
