Budget, Debt, and Spending

f t # e

Spending is out-of-control in Washington, and has been for quite some time. Each day, we add to our national debt by spending a lot more than the IRS collects in taxes. As this debt burden continues to grow – it’s now about $20 trillion – we must remember that it will be handed down to our children and grandchildren. Just as families and businesses balance their own checkbooks, the federal government should be expected to do the same.

I believe that it is critical that lawmakers do everything possible to root out wasteful spending from the federal budget, reduce spending overall, and promote policies that will grow our economy. In my opinion, one way to help tackle this problem is a constitutional amendment to ensure that future Congresses cannot spend money they do not have.
