Issue Position: Spending/Debt

Issue Position

Many Americans are still dealing with the uncertainty of our economy and working hard to make ends meet. When families or small businesses face tough times we tighten our belts, and address our spending habits. Naturally, we don't spend money we don't have.

But what does Washington do in this scenario? Just the opposite…

Politicians in Washington continue to spend, continue to raise the debt ceiling and continue to ignore the coming wave of entitlement costs that will bankrupt our nation. Now is not a time for politics as usual, we need real leaders with courage to make the difficult choices. Spending is out of control, our national debt is soaring and politicians continue to hide from the real challenges.

Make no mistake; a day of reckoning is coming, even for a country as big and economically diverse as America. Margaret Thatcher once said, "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." Thatcher was right. So, when is enough, enough?
