During the 1994 congressional campaign, Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and Dick Armey (R-Texas) drew up what they called a Contract with America. It was printed on a card which was small enough to fit in a wallet or purse and it detailed what Republicans would do should voters give the GOP a House majority for the first time in 40 years. The left and the media derided the contract, but it was deemed effective. While Republicans were able to achieve some of their goals, Democrats eventually regained the House majority and reversed many Republican policies, which has led to what we are experiencing today. That would be the worst inflation in 40 years, record high gas prices, increased interest rates, and a porous southern border that has produced a flood of undocumented immigrants.
