Issue Position: Fiscal Responsibility & Government Reform

Issue Position

America's national debt has skyrocketed to over $20 trillion. That is absolutely unsustainable. The lack of leadership on both sides of the aisle threatens our economic stability and the long-term growth of our economy. Johnny supports efforts to responsibly reduce spending, balance the budget and make government more accountable to hard-working American taxpayers.

Johnny will sponsor a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution to balance the budget and right-size the federal government. He believes we need to make government more accountable and transparent by revealing where and how tax dollars are being spent.

Johnny is opposed to recent attempts by Speaker Pelosi and leadership to offer budget amendments to sneak in congressional pay raises. And, he supports legislation that withholds congressional salaries if they don't pass a budget. If members of Congress are unable to carry out the basic duties of their job then they shouldn't get paid.
