Issue Position: Fiscal Discipline

Issue Position

I am proud to be one of the few Members of Congress who did not vote for any of the bailouts, government takeovers or stimulus bills passed by Congress.

Washington's problem is not that it taxes too little; it's that it spends too much. Congress, just like every family in America, must learn to budget properly and live within its means. Therefore, I will continue to push for fiscal discipline and work to rein in Washington's out of control spending. I have always supported a balanced budget amendment and have authored conservative reforms to limit waste and abuse of food stamp and disability programs that would save our country billions of dollars a year.
