| Balanced Budget |
 The
federal budget has to be balanced. Any additional revenue that
is needed should be generated from economic growth, not increased
taxes. I will support limiting growth in non-defense
areas. Our federal government cannot continue to grow larger
and larger.
A balanced federal budget is a priority for our national economic health
and long-term prosperity. I will fight for federal spending to provide
for our national and homeland security, as directed by the U.S. Constitution.
The funding increases in both of these arenas will be necessary in the
future to keep our families safe and secure.
Budgetary savings must be identified through efficiency reforms throughout
the federal government. I will work to find ways to eliminate wasteful
government programs. I will aggressively attack the creation and funding
of duplicative federal programs. Many of these “Pork Barrel” projects
are of no real benefit but cost taxpayers millions of their hard-earned
dollars. According to the Office
of Management and Budget, 28% of federal programs are either ineffective
or have results that are not proven. Reforming, combining or eliminating
those programs will be among my highest legislative priorities. |
