Issue Position

BALANCE THE BUDGET

David believes that Washington should live by the same rules as every American family, which means they must balance the budget and spend no more than what they take in.

Today's government spends, borrows, and taxes its people too much. Our national debt has surpassed $23 trillion, nearly $65,000 for every man woman and child in America. David strongly opposes wasteful projects, such as the construction of a high-speed rail system throughout California which will cost tax payers billions of dollars with little added benefit.

Responsible spending reductions that reduce the national debt will strengthen the U.S. economy and create economic opportunity for families in the Central Valley. These spending cuts, coupled with the implementation of a fairer tax code and strong incentives to work and invest, will lower the tax burden for all Americans, while providing increased support for necessary federal programs.

It is time to get serious about our nation's spending problem and David is committed to working with his colleagues to do what is best for the American people.
