QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“This is so dumb that I have a hard time believing it is true. We don’t want a bunch of Pravda newspapers only touting the Government’s official position. A free press makes our country better. This sounds like more amateur hour.”
— Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), on a directive requiring Pentagon reporters to sign a pledge that they will only publish pre-approved information from the Pentagon.

Our Take

Transportation & Infrastructure
Taxpayers for Common Sense opposes projects where the national benefit doesn’t outweigh the cost and advocates for a fix-it-first approach. We work to shift more of the financial costs and risks off federal taxpayers and onto the actual project beneficiaries themselves.
