Government does not have a revenue problem. It has a spending problem. I applaud and
support the strong message sent by Iowans last November to stop overspending and budget gimmicks.
However, the debt crisis in Washington will likely mean less federal funding for states. Tough decisions
lay ahead. Tax increases during the Obama recession will increase the hardship on Iowans. The most
fair, equitable solution is to spend less than we collect from you, the taxpayer.
