Issue Position: Reining in Government Spending

Issue Position

Money doesn't grow on trees but those in Washington often think it does. For too long, legislators went to Washington withreducedeficit copy a focus of "how much to spend" instead of "what to cut." Because of that mindset, federal spending is out-of-control with growing deficits that place the burden on future generations.

Just as Americans must balance their own household budgets, Congress should be held to the same standards. The next Congress must make decisions that balance our federal budget in a reasonable, responsible way that leaves a country to our children and grandchildren better than the one we inherited.
