  • Heritage’S Plan For
    What leaders say about Heritage’s plan for: AMERIC A N DRE A M “Getting our country’s fiscal house in order is no easy task. Thankfully, our friends at The Heritage Foundation have done the hard work of thinking through and creating public policies that get government under control and save the American dream for this generation and the next.” — Senator Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) “The analysis of our fiscal problems is compelling, and the proposed solution is bold and imaginative.” — Ambassador John Bolton “The Heritage Foundation’s plan to save the American dream would create economic certainty for businesses by putting our nation on a more stable economic course and giving businesses the freedom to expand.” — Andrew F. Puzder, CEO of CKE Restaurants Inc. (Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr.) “… a plan that truly reforms… This plan is the cure for our ‘disease.’” AMERIC A N DRE A M — Cal Thomas, Syndicated Columnist “Comprehensive tax reform is an essential element of restoring fiscal sanity and spurring economic growth in the country. The Heritage Foundation’s proposal moves the country’s tax code in the right direction toward a more low-rate, flat tax.” — Arthur B. Laffer, Ph.D., the Father of Supply-Side Economics “America does not have to be a country in decline. Do we have choices to make? Yes. And I encourage anyone who is serious about making the right choices to read The Heritage Foundation’s plan to fix the debt, cut spending, and restore prosperity.” — Steve Forbes, Editor-in-Chief, Forbes magazine 214 Massachusetts Avenue N.E.

Dear Reader: The Conservative Reform Network (CRN) recognizes that today’s challenges won’t be met by yesterday’s solutions. That’s why we are eager to deliver a new series of important policy papers that will offer fresh, innovative solutions to some of the biggest policy challenges facing America—practical solutions that are ready to be put into action. John Murray Chairman Building on the tremendous success of our 2014 essay collection, Room to Grow: Conservative Reforms for a Limited Government and a Thriving Middle Class, we are pleased to bring you Room to Grow: A Series. Each briefing book in the series will tackle a specific set of domestic policy challenges and provide thoughtful analysis from a leading expert in the field. CRN commissioned this series of more than a dozen briefing books to show how a conservative agenda can empower individuals by replacing failed one-size-fits-all government programs with policies that foster opportunity, choice, and competition.

  • U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress
    U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs Michael Moodie Assistant Director and Senior Specialist in Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Updated February 24, 2020 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44891 U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The U.S. role in the world refers to the overall character, purpose, or direction of U.S. participation in international affairs and the country’s overall relationship to the rest of the world. The U.S. role in the world can be viewed as establishing the overall context or framework for U.S. policymakers for developing, implementing, and measuring the success of U.S. policies and actions on specific international issues, and for foreign countries or other observers for interpreting and understanding U.S. actions on the world stage. While descriptions of the U.S. role in the world since the end of World War II vary in their specifics, it can be described in general terms as consisting of four key elements: global leadership; defense and promotion of the liberal international order; defense and promotion of freedom, democracy, and human rights; and prevention of the emergence of regional hegemons in Eurasia. The issue for Congress is whether the U.S. role in the world is changing, and if so, what implications this might have for the United States and the world. A change in the U.S. role could have significant and even profound effects on U.S. security, freedom, and prosperity. It could significantly affect U.S.

  • Robert Rector Senior Research Fellow the Heritage Foundation My Name Is Robert Rector
    214 Massachusetts Avenue, NE • Washington DC 20002 • (202) 546-4400 • heritage.org CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY ________________________________________________________________________ The Hidden Welfare State: 69 Means-tested Programs and Nearly a Trillion Dollars in Annual Spending Testimony before The Subcommittee on Regulator Affairs, Stimulus Oversight and Government Spending Committee on Oversight and Government Reform United States House of Representatives June 1, 2011 Robert Rector Senior Research Fellow The Heritage Foundation My name is Robert Rector. I am a Senior Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation. The views I express in this testimony are my own, and should not be construed as representing any official position of The Heritage Foundation. Summary The means-tested welfare system consists of 69 federal programs providing cash, food, housing, medical care, social services, training, and targeted education aid to poor and low income Americans. Means-tested welfare programs differ from general government programs in that they provide aid exclusively to persons (or communities) with low incomes. In FY2011, federal spending on means-tested welfare, plus state contributions to federal programs, will reach $940 billion per year. The federal share will come to around $695 billion or 74 percent, while state spending will be around $250 billion or 26 percent. Combined federal and state means-tested welfare is now the second largest category of overall government spending in the nation. It is exceeded only by the combined cost of Social Security and Medicare. Welfare spending is greater than the cost of public education and is greater than spending on national defense. In the two decades before the current recession, means-tested welfare was the fastest growing component of government spending.

  • Success Or Stagnation
    May 2013 ADDING IT UP: Accurately Gauging the Economic Impact of Immigration Reform Raul Hinojosa Ojeda, Ph.D.1 Sherman Robinson, Ph.D.2 With immigration reform legislation now making its way through Congress, it is imperative that we estimate as accurately as possible the full range of potential economic costs and benefits associated with any particular bill. It is especially important to establish the proper criteria for a complete, robust, and accurate fiscal scoring of any bill by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). To that end, we should consider the growing consensus of the economic literature on the strongly positive benefits of immigration in general and of the various aspects of immigration reform in particular, as calculated using a variety of different methodologies. The CBO would be well-advised to keep this consensus literature in mind as it establishes the criteria it will use for scoring immigration reform legislation. More and more research demonstrates the economic benefits of immigration reform. The last few years have witnessed a burst in economic research showing the strongly positive net impacts of immigration in general and comprehensive immigration reform (CIR) in particular. Broad agreement has emerged as to not only the net economic and fiscal benefits of immigration and CIR, but the acceleration of those benefits over time. Moreover, these conclusions have been arrived at in studies utilizing a variety of different methodological approaches. It is important to point out that each of these different approaches is limited by a focus on separate aspects of immigration reform (Table 1). A complete methodological framework accounting for all of the components of CIR produces the largest-scale benefits.
