Issue Position: Spending

Issue Position

David believes that Washington should live by the same rules as every American family, which means they must balance the budget and spend no more than what they take in.

Today's government spends, borrows, and taxes its people too much. Our national debt has surpassed $17 trillion, nearly $53,000 for every man woman and child in America. David strongly opposes wasteful projects, such as the construction of a high-speed rail system throughout California which will cost tax payers billions of dollars with little added benefit.

The average American works the first three hours of their day just to pay their federal, state, and local taxes. David believes Americans should be working to provide for themselves and their families, not to feed government coffers. By implementing a simpler, fairer tax system we can ensure everyone pays their fair share while making America a better place for communities and families.

Responsible spending reductions that reduce the national debt will strengthen the U.S. economy and create economic opportunity for families in the Central Valley. These spending cuts, coupled with the implementation of a fairer tax code and strong incentives to work and invest, will lower the tax burden for all Americans, while providing increased support for necessary federal programs.

It is time to get serious about our nation's spending problem and David is committed to working with his colleagues to do what is best for the American people.
