Issue Position: Cut Spending and Balance the Budget

Issue Position

Reckless government spending endangers our country's financial stability while threatening the prosperity of future generations. With record deficits during the Obama Administation and more than $20 trillion of national debt, too many politicians offer million dollar solutions to trillion dollar problems. In Congress, John has tackled our out-of-control spending head on by introducing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution which would institute a "no balanced budget, no pay' mechanism for members of Congress and the President. It's time to hold everyone's feet to the fire. He has also voted against a reckless budget deal which would have increased the debt ceiling.
