About The Heritage Foundation

Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institution—a think tank—whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense. We believe the principles and ideas of the American Founding are worth conserving and renewing. As policy entrepreneurs, we believe the most effective solutions are consistent with those ideas and principles.

    Re: Ed Feulner’s speech at Presidents Club. Likewise. Liberalism should not be equated with the Democratic Party. Effort should be applied to cultivate conservative principles among those of a Democratiic Party persuasion.

    Also: Control of the National Budget deficit is important. But of greater importance, I think, is the reduction of our national debt and thus a resulting reduction of its debilitating intrest payments. Might not such savings on interest be applied toward controling the budget deficit?
