Budget 
   

Congress is entrusted with ensuring that our tax dollars are spent responsibly. In light of our current national challenges, this role is especially important.

As a member of the Senate, my top budget priority is to establish greater fiscal disipline. To accomplish this, I support many budget reform measures, including:

  • Passing a strong balanced budget constitutional amendment.
  • Passing a constitutional amendment to give the President the line-item veto.
  • Bucking the Appropriations Committee Leadership and voting against appropriations bills which are bloated and fiscally irresponsible.
  • Attacking government waste by consolidating duplicative programs.
  • Voting for a federal budget that cuts the deficit in half in five years.
