GOP Hard-liners Prepare New ‘Contract with America’

“House Republican hard-liners who helped force out former Speaker John Boehner are readying their next act: a multi-point manifesto demanding quick action on long-time conservative priorities,” Bloomberg reports.

“An early draft of the plan obtained by Bloomberg News also calls for legislation to slash government regulations by 20 percent, cut corporate tax rates and expand offshore oil drilling. Efforts are still under way to finalize contents of the ‘contract,’ which lawmakers say they hope will become the basis of House Republicans’ 2016 agenda.”
