Barry Loudermilk on Government Reform

 

 


Reduce size & scope of Federal Government

Question topic: Free enterprise and the right to private property turn mankind's natural self interest into the fairest and most productive economic system there is, and are the key to national prosperity.

Loudermilk: Strongly Agree.

Briefly list political issues of most concern to you.

Loudermilk: National Debt: This is threatening the nation's security as well as the future liberties of all Americans. The debt and deficit spending are quickly moving our nation towards a national fiscal crisis. Balanced Budget Amendment: History has proven that no legislative body will voluntarily restrict its power or reduce its ability to control or spend money. Significantly reduce the size and scope of the Federal Government: The massive growth of the influence and size of the federal government is putting a strain on our economy, violating the liberty of our citizens, threatening the sovereignty of the states, and creating a lethargic and immoral people.

Strict adherence to the original intent of the Constitution

In Congress, Barry will work to restore a reverence for the constitution. Thomas Jefferson said, "On every question of construction carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed."

Our nation was designed to operate under a federal government with limited powers which are clearly defined in our Constitution. We must return to a strict adherence to the original intent of the Constitution, not squeeze out of each clause whatever meaning best benefits the powerbrokers in Washington.

Reduce the size and scope of the federal government

In Congress, Barry will work to reduce the size and scope of the federal government. Through limitless spending by Congress and judicial activism, the power of the federal government has exponentially grown to the point that it has even begun to take over the free market system. We must restore to the states their sovereignty, to the people their liberty, and reduce federal abuses of Constitutional authority.
