Congressional Dems propose taxpayer-funded private pension bailout

  SPRINGFIELD/WASHINGTON (Illinois News Network) -- Congressional Democrats want a Federal bailout of private sector pensions. An expert thinks that states like Illinois, with hundreds of billions of dollars in public pension debt, would try to be next in line, making the effort unfeasible. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio is introducing legislation that would allow underfunded private pension systems to borrow from the Federal treasury, with no interest, in order to shore up their members’ retirement fund. The legislation, which […]

McCaleb: Legislators break into song and dance when real fix is needed

(Illinois News Network) -- I've been called many things, but handy isn't one of them. When something around the house breaks, I usually take a look at the problem, dig through my toolbox, look some more, and then call someone to fix it. Don't get me wrong.

Dozens of Republican lawmakers, including Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, Arizona Sen. John McCain and senior Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby, have called for Moore to withdraw […]

The National Republican Senatorial Committee also backed out of the agreement last week. In addition to pulling out of the fundraising agreement the […]

Phil Anderson, chairman of the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin, who is also campaigning for the executive post, agrees with Walker's sentiment, but notes that voters will get "more of the same", whether […]

Toomey: Luther Strange would be a strong write-in candidate compared to Roy Moore

NEW YORK/MONTGOMERY, Ala. (UPI) -- Sen. Pat Toomey said Sunday he thinks embattled Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore should "just step aside."

Toomey made the remarks after The Washington Post last week reported Moore's alleged relationships with teenage girls while he was in his early 30s. Moore, now 70, has denied any […]
