CPAC 2013 - Eric Cantor

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference Friday (3/15/2013).

Cantor struck a somber tone and used anecdotal stories of inner-city children in a narrow speech arguing for school choice. "School choice is the answer," Cantor said.

His speech was not particularly partisan, although at one point he urged President Barack Obama and Democrats "to see the light."

Cantor went on to invoke an adage from former President Ronald Reagan: "If we can't make them see the light, we'll make them feel the heat," Cantor said. The House Republican leader closed his remarks with a plea for Republican solidarity.

"Conservative ideas win," he said.

The labor force participation rate increased in May because 600,000 people re-entered the labor force. The number of unemployed also shot up. This is clearly related to the recent college graduates. The people we are leaning on to pay for our out of control entitlement expenses cannot find employment.
