At a press conference, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), a leader in the Senate Democrat Majority, responds to Gov. Mitch Daniels’ (R-IN) lament that, “[W]hen President Obama claims that the state of our union is anything but grave, he must know in his heart that this is not true.”
Schumer says, “The Republican speaker last night, Mitch Daniels, talked about Americans must talk about the state of the union as grave. So, we think we are in great shape. We are in good shape.”

With the Iowa caucuses behind us, voters in New Hampshire head to the
polls for the first primary of the Republican nomination process today. Central to at least one populist candidate’s — Ron Paul — campaign platform is the battle against easy money. The battle of capital versus credit….of the saver vs the speculator. He is critical of the Federal Reserve System, and its rolling presses of easy, fiat money. But populist candidates did not always campaign for hard money. William Jennings Bryan rose to national prominence off the wave of free silver and the populist move of mid-western farmers who wanted higher prices for their produce, easier money and more access to credit. We will speak with historian and author of “A Godly Hero: the life of William Jennings Bryan,” Michael Kazin about how this has changed, and what the similarities, as well as the differences are between then and now. And…money in politics is something that we hear about a lot these days, but the two have always gone together, it’s just a matter of degrees. However, the issue has taken center stage again, especially with the occupy wall street movement, and with the citizens united decision that allows corporations to donate unlimited amounts of money. We may not be living in an era of Robber Barons, but we may be headed there. Again, we will speak with historian Michael Kazin about this, and whether money in politics is making a comeback similar to its role during the gilded age, or whether the more things change, the more they really stay the same.

In the Weekly Republican Address, Georgia Sen. Johnny Isakson lays out the commitments Republicans have for the American people for the new year.
Sen. Isakson says, “It’s no secret that the number one issue facing our country is jobs. So the number one goal of the Republicans for 2012 is to continue to make it easier for American small businesses to create jobs. We’ll accomplish this by focusing on three things: fundamental tax reform, regulatory reform and energy security.”
Concerning tax reform, Sen. Isakson says, “We should lower tax rates, do away with certain specialized and targeted tax deductions, broaden the tax base and close loopholes. Many of these suggestions were included in President Obama’s own deficit commission’s proposal, the Simpson-Bowles plan. Unfortunately, the President chose to ignore that plan. Congress cannot wait any longer to get our nation’s fiscal house in order. This means tackling the nearly $4.5 trillion in additional debt that the Obama Administration has racked up in just the past three years. Democrats have pushed over and over again to raise taxes on the American families and small businesses to pay for their unsustainable spending habits. This is absolutely the wrong solution, especially in a time of a recession. Instead, we must dig our way out of this debt by reforming our tax system, cutting spending and extending opportunity for businesses to grow.”
On regulations, Sen. Isakson says, “In 2012, Republicans will continue to fight to remove the shackles of onerous federal regulations on American small businesses. This is one of the fastest ways we can empower small businesses to begin hiring again. It’s one of the keys to bringing our country out of this recession. The burdensome overregulation by President Obama’s federal agencies has resulted in small businesses holding capital on the sidelines and freezing plans to hire new workers. American business cannot plan ahead because they fear the next expensive regulation might be coming from the federal government. It is uncertainty that must end. The federal government cannot regulate our country into prosperity. Our job as legislators is to see to it that there is a level playing field for businesses, entrepreneurs and workers.”
“The third way that Republicans will make it easier to create jobs in the New Year,” he continues, “is by continuing to push for energy solutions that create jobs, lower energy costs and remove our dependence on foreign oil. We can accomplish these goals by tapping into our domestic resources in an environmentally responsible way; such as through offshore drilling and shale extraction. We must develop all forms of energy—wind, solar, nuclear and others—if we’re ever going to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. This past year, Republicans pushed for construction of the Keystone XL pipeline to transport 700,000 barrels of oil per day from Canada to the United States. This project would give America a reliable source of oil from our largest trading partner, and it would create tens of thousands of jobs for the American people. The Keystone pipeline is exactly the type of energy project this country needs.”
Sen. Isakson concludes, “As we enter into this New Year, many have predicted that Congress will be too consumed with the Fall elections to accomplish anything significant. Americans cannot wait until after the November election. They need us to do our job and do it right now to create an economic climate that makes it easier to put people back to work. Republicans stand ready to do that. We’re ready to go to work in 2012 to get the American people back to work.
“God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America in this New Year.”
