Issue Position: Debt Crisis and the Economy

Issue Position

For the past four years, President Obama has led our nation into trillion-dollar-plus deficits. In his most recently released budget plan, he called for $1.9 trillion in new taxes. Following the path Obama has set us on, our country is poised to reach a gross debt of $25.9 trillion by the end of fiscal year 2022. According to the Tax Foundation, Americans will work 107 days this year just to pay their taxes, which is longer than the American people will work for food, clothing, and housing combined. I have consistently voted to rein in out-of-control spending and put this country back on a path of success.
