Issues: Fighting Wasteful Spending
"Mike believes government should live within its means, just as Ohio families do"
Mike has been an advocate for reigning in wasteful spending in Washington. In addition to opposing raising the national debt limit to $17 trillion, he has voted for legislation which would place our government on a path to eliminating the deficit and paying off our outstanding debt. This plan, which cuts current spending levels, caps them at pre-President Obama spending, also sets a path for approving a Balanced Budget Amendment to our Constitution. Congressman Turner has voted against the $814 billion Stimulus bill, the $700 billion Wall Street Bailout, which included $180 billion for AIG, the $154 billion bailout for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the Auto Bailout.
