Issue Position: Taxes & Spending

Issue Position

The federal government spends too much, taxes too much, regulates too much, and listens too little. They are burdening every business, big and small, with an albatross of regulation and taxation that makes it impossible to grow and create jobs.

Any future success of this country is predicated upon reducing the debt, deficit and reigning in federal spending. Righting the fiscal ship is essential if we are to reduce the burden already placed on future generations. Nebraskans operate within their budgets at home and the federal government should do the same. We must cut spending and no program is off the table. We also need a zero tolerance policy toward earmarks. Earmarks encourage wasteful spending and I won't support them.
