Issue Position: Reining in the National Debt

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Budget, Spending and Taxes Government Budget and Spending

When my oldest daughter was born twelve years ago the national debt was just over $7 trillion dollars. Today the national debt is about $20 trillion. That means in Laura's twelve years politicians in Washington have racked up nearly double the debt than the combined total from the previous 228 years of our nation. It is unacceptable to push this burden to our children and force them to climb out from beneath a seemingly insurmountable mountain of debt. Texas families and small businesses live within their means -- government must do the same.
