Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012
Issues: Budget, Spending and Taxes Government Budget and Spending

I am proud to rank among the few Members of Congress who did not vote for any of the bailouts, government takeovers or stimulus bills passed in the 111th 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.
