Economy and Budget
The United States is over $34 trillion in debt and counting. Few in Washinton, D.C. know what it means to adhere to, or even make, a budget. The Congressional budgeting and spending process is broken, hijacked by reckless spending and borrowing. We are not taxed too little; we spend too much.
As your representative, I have rejected budget and spending bills which provide unchecked growth in deficit spending and am pushing for institutional reforms in the House which reaffirms our power of the purse in a manner which allows the American people and their representatives to regain control over our fiscal health.
