Issue Position: A Balanced Budget

Issue Position

When the party in power ignores the requirement to produce and adhere to a federal budget for several sessions of Congress, we get the hint. Maybe the party feels more free to "wing it," allowing them to spend at will with no accountability. That has never worked and it never can.

As a military leader, entrepreneur and small business operator, I know the importance of a budget to stay focused on those strategic activities that will achieve the right goals in the right way. Failure to plan financially is just not an option.

In Washington, I will add my voice to the many in the majority to urge the Senate and the White House to respect our obligation to manage the peoples' money as if it were our own and pursue proven and productive fiscal policy -- beginning with a Balanced Budget Amendament.
