Nebraska's low 4% unemployment due to limited government

I've been a Senator in the Nebraska legislature these past eight years. And in Nebraska, we have an unemployment rate of only 4 percent. How did we get there? We cut spending. We balance our budget every year. We passed the biggest tax relief package in the history of our state. And most importantly, we got government out of the way and let the private sector do what it does best: grow our economy and create jobs.

We've done it in Nebraska, and I know we can do the same thing in Washington, because we only have two options left. We can either continue the same failed policies of the past, or we can begin to make the tough decisions and lead our country responsibly.

We have a tremendous opportunity to set our country in a new, more prosperous direction, and it begins in November.

More crop insurance in the new farm bill

Fischer said crop insurance should be the major program in the new farm bill that will be fashioned by Congress.

Bruning said his record as attorney general shows he has fought consistently against "the grab for power" by the federal government.

Stenberg said he would go to Washington for the purpose of "changing government, not fitting right in."
