Just like Wisconsin families must balance their budgets, so must America. Tom believes that federal spending is out of control. Tom has proven he will take balancing budgets seriously. In Wisconsin, Tom and his colleagues took a $3.6 billion deficit and turned it into balanced budgets, $13 billion in tax cuts, and the largest rainy day fund in state history!
Tom believes that we need to take an underlying look at the whole federal budget -- how our government operates and where we can find massive, systemic savings for the taxpayer. Tom supports repealing the Davis-Bacon law that increases the costs of everyday federal building projects.
