Issue Position: Enacting a Balanced Budget Amendment

Issue Position

We must enact a Balanced Budget Amendment. A Balanced Budget Amendment would prevent the federal government from spending outside its means. Families across West Michigan have to sit down and balance their budget. The State of Michigan has to pass a balanced budget every year; it's commonsense that Washington should have to do the same.

We don't have a tax problem, we have a spending problem. I will vote against measures that increase spending and raise taxes. A Balanced Budget Amendment is the best way to cure Washington's addiction to spending your hard-earned tax dollars.
