House Majority Leader Eric Cantor apparently wants his Republican colleagues to pursue a “government can be good approach to their politics rather than focusing so much on the size and voracious spending appetite of Washington.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the Virginian will lay out some of his new ideas on how Republicans can soften their tone a bit in a wide-ranging policy speech at the conservative American Enterprise Institute.
Citing an unidentified congressional aide as its source, the Journal said Cantor plans to touch on a host of existing policies and initiatives, from school choice to tax reform, to show how families nationwide would benefit more from Republican ideas rather than those offered by Democrats.
