Vote Now... Help Cut Big Government

One of the biggest challenges facing our nation today is massive debt brought on by out-of-control spending.  With a national debt level of nearly $13 trillion, we are spending money we do not have, rather than making the same tough budget decisions that most San Diego families make on a daily basis. 

America is at a crossroads.  Our economy and job market are stagnating, with the unemployment rate moving back toward ten percent.  Federal spending is at record levels while China and other trading partners are financing the growth of our nation’s government at the expense of future generations. 

These problems cannot be solved overnight but with the right attention and a commitment to change, we can bring our budget under control.  The starting point for this effort begins with targeting wasteful and unnecessary programs – an initiative that House Republicans have launched under a new project called YouCut.

YouCut is a first-of-its-kind project designed to promote fiscal discipline in government.  It allows YOU to vote on which wasteful spending programs to CUT. 

Each week, House Republicans will force an up-or-down vote in the House on the spending cut that receives the most support. 

It’s quite simple.  YOU tell us what to CUT – or how to save – and we will take it to the floor of the House and ask the majority leadership for a vote.

San Diego families are facing the realities of an underperforming economy and continue making difficult decisions.  Why should Congress and the rest of government act any differently?

YouCut is an excellent online resource intended to draw greater attention to our nation’s fiscal condition and directly engage the American people on the spending cuts Congress should enact.  Be sure to visit YouCut regularly since new programs will be available for selection every week.  You can access YouCut here.
