Poulson: Is Congress rediscovering Reaganomics?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:42:27 GMT

The House of Representatives recently completed hearings on “Examining Proposed Constitutional Amendments.” The hearings focused on two proposed Constitutional amendments — term limits and a balanced-budget amendment. The hearings also explored the question of amending the Constitution under Article V.Legislators have rediscovered Reaganomics. As president, Ronald Reagan supported term limits and a balanced-budget amendment and enacting these amendments through an Article V convention.

In addition, thousands of Afghans who aided the American war effort remain at risk in their home country, unable to cut through the red tape and flee to the United States. They and their families are targets for retribution from the brutal Taliban.“Helping these Afghans would signify to other allies that the U.S. doesn’t abandon its friends,” Sierra Dawn McClain wrote in the Wall Street Journal recently. “More important, it would help settle...
