MT Congressional representatives, past and present: on Budget & Economy


Ryan Zinke: $17T debt was irresponsible to create & reckless to continue

Growing the Economy and Controlling Spending: Our $17 trillion debt is unfathomable in size, irresponsible in creation, and reckless to continue. As such, I strongly support a peacetime balanced budget amendment and a dramatic reduction in the size and scope of government. Washington must be held accountable to ensure that the funding of programs is based on measurable performance standards and are held accountable to fall within the law. But there is no way we will be able to cut our way out of this mess. We must grow our way out. That means that we have to get government out of the way of business. We need to cut burdensome regulation and allow people to succeed.
