Issues: National Security Defense Government Budget and Spending

Maintaining national security is one of the federal government's primary responsibilities under the Constitution. We must ensure the people of the United States are protected by providing for our common defense. But it's also important that we not forget our national debt of more than $17 trillion. Congress needs to be working with our military leaders at the Pentagon to identify wasteful and duplicative programs that can be consolidated or removed in order to ensure our defense budget is being spent responsibly. I can not overstate the importance of having a robust national defense, that puts the safety and well-being of the American people first.
