Government Integrity Project
NLPC “blows the whistle” on government officials and interest groups engaged in questionable activities. NLPC has filed formal Complaints with a variety of authorities and regulators, including the Federal Election Commission, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Congressional Ethics Committees.
NLPC supports government integrity in two additional ways: by promoting the First Amendment as the basis for campaign finance reform, and by promoting use of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The “fiscal cliff” agreement was not only 
"Is the Federal Housing Administration the next bailout?" The question has become all too common these past several months. It's also the title of a policy forum held December 13 at the free-market Cato Institute in Washington, D.C. Based on the evidence, it would be hard to avoid concluding "yes." Three speakers highly familiar with the workings of FHA - Mark Calabria, Edward Pinto and Michael Frantantoni - explained why the mortgage insurance agency is a prime candidate for a first-time-ever dose of taxpayer support. FHA, part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, aggressively ramped up activity following the banking collapse of 2008.
The more the media covers the "fiscal cliff" fiasco, the more perspective is lost. It is really quite simple.

In fact, the new tax revenues will fuel new spending, that will be leveraged into even more debt.
The past year was a dismal one for the passé idea that government would use taxpayer dollars responsibly, and that was nowhere more evident than with
