Issue Position: Budget and Spending

Issue Position

As a state legislator, Donald has fought for responsible, balanced budgets that fund critical services while keeping taxes low. He supports efforts to gradually reduce the deficit -- but he knows we can't cut our way to prosperity. In Congress, Donald will:

oppose efforts to balance the budget on the backs of working families, including reckless "blanket" cuts like sequestration
defend investments in education, infrastructure, research and other important priorities that make for a fairer and more prosperous society
pursue commonsense reforms that make our tax code fairer, simpler, and more progressive
