Stephen Moore recently moved
from the Wall Street Journal
editorial board to become chief economist of the Heritage
Foundation. "No matter what the question is, the answer is always
repeal Obamacare," Moore said. Moore also called for getting rid
of the tax code, a "drill, baby, drill" approach on energy, cutting
government spending including eliminating the Departments of Education,
Energy and Commerce, making more states income tax free, taking on the
class warfare of the left, and addressing the "biggest sham," the cost
of higher education.
