Chris Edwards testifies to the Senate Finance Committee on federal spending and debt.
These are the times that try budget analysts’ souls—especially budget analysts who’d like to see Washington dramatically cut spending.
House Speaker John Boehner’s first budget plan wouldn’t have cut spending. His new plan won’t cut spending either.
Chris Edwards wants his post office closed.
