Issue Position: Economic Policies

Issue Position

Our Congress has leveraged our grandchildren's future to pay for pork barrel projects today. Continued deficit spending has caused the international monetary markets to lose faith in the dollar, and that, more than any other single factor, is why the price of oil has skyrocketed over the past few months. Instead of blaming the big oil companies, Congress needs to look in the mirror and understand that they are the underlying cause of our current economic woes.

However, the private sector needs to accept blame as well for a severe lack of ethics in conducting its business in some major cases, such as the sub-prime mortgage crisis. We need to hold these CEOs accountable for ridiculously high salaries and bonuses even when their companies produce huge losses, and we need to get all CEOs to sign the Deontological Oath as prescribed by many graduate school of business.

As your Congressman, Larry will work tirelessly to balance the national budget. The underlying fundamental secret to reducing our high tax burden is to reduce the size of government. For the last 17 years Larry has been helping governments reduce the size of their government infrastructure, making it more efficient and increasing revenues. It isn't rocket science, it just takes a politician willing to stand up for what is right rather than what it takes to get re-elected.
