Don Bolduc: Federal government should not pick winners and losers

I believe the healthiest economic environment is one that promotes free market competition. Too many members of Congress embrace the term "lawmakers" and base success on the passage of needless legislation that stifles the growth of business and allows deep-pocketed corporations to rig the system against small business and start-ups. Under no circumstances should the federal government be in the business of picking winners and losers.

Jeanne Shaheen: Eliminate wasteful spending; reform broken budget system

She is the leading proponent of strengthening the authority and reach of Inspectors General at federal agencies. She is leading bipartisan efforts to reform or eliminate wasteful agriculture spending, including subsides for the sugar program and crop insurance, and the catfish inspection program. She succeeded in eliminating government spending on oil portraits for politicians. Jeanne is the leading cosponsor of bipartisan legislation to reform Washington's broken budget system by implementing a two-year budgeting system, like New Hampshire's, to improve oversight, cut wasteful spending and reduce manufactured budget crises.
