Today, House Republican Conference Chairman Jeb Hensarling (TX) published, "Barack Obama should emulate Ronald Reagan in deeds" as we commemorated the President's 100th birthday on Sunday.  Rep. Hensarling traces the spending path that has led America into $14 trillion of debt and 21 straight months of unemployment at 9 percent or higher.  Outlining the primary cause for America's economic troubles...spending, the Chairman turns toward President Ronald Reagan's "advice but also the voice of the American people."

And that’s just the beginning.
