Families, farmers, and Main Street business owners balance their budgets – the federal government should do the same. We must cut wasteful government spending while protecting the programs that Iowans rely on.
If we don’t address the rampant government spending, then we risk leaving a financial crisis in the hands of our children and their children to fix.
I’m committed to doing everything I can to rein in out-of-control spending by our government while also protecting critical programs. That’s why I helped introduce legislation to create a bipartisan commission to help balance the federal budget.
Bottom Line: This commission can help make the necessary changes to restore a sensible, functional government that works for the people, not one that recklessly spends taxpayer money.
