Everyone in the modern conservative era knows the earth-changing of Ronald Wilson Reagan: his foreign policy triumphs, victory in the Cold War, and promoting peace through strength and his domestic policy initiatives, cutting taxes, and creating jobs with opportunities.

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s Fiscal Year 2017 budget proposal:
“It is sad to me that throughout his two terms, the President has never proposed a budget that balances. The President’s record $4.1 trillion budget grows our national debt and passes the buck to our children and grandchildren.

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) released the following statement after the President’s Budget Request terminated funding to the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication facility (MOX) at the Savannah River Site:
“Terminating funding to the MOX facility is yet another example of the President’s refusal to see the facts.

This decision to eliminate funding to the MOX facility is counterproductive and short-sighted.
