In 2006, Republicans lost the majority in Congress because they ceased being the party of fiscal responsibility. With Democrats controlling Congress and the White House deficit spending is out of control. In 2008 MoveOn.org asked: Who will pay for the deficit? Now the deficit is 11 times larger! Our federal government continues to spend money it doesn’t have and wastes billions of our tax dollars every year on questionable spending. The complete lack of fiscal responsibility coming out of Congress needs to stop.
I have been a fiscal conservative my entire career. I believe that it is possible for government to spend your tax dollars frugally; unfortunately, most of those in government don’t want to do that.
As your Congressman, I will work to bring about a culture of fiscal responsibility in Congress. More specifically, I will push to limit the growth and size of government. I will work to eliminate the terribly irresponsible and corrupting practice of earmarking or pork barrel spending. Most importantly though, I will not vote to burden our future generations with debt by supporting spending money we don’t have.
It’s time to restore fiscal sanity to Congress.
