Federal spending crowds out private investment
Q: Economy: Support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth?Mike Espy (D): Yes. Supports federal spending on infrastructure, broadband & childcare, to grow the economy.
Cindy Hyde-Smith (R): Mixed.
Sees value in federal spending on local projects. But "controlling spending" is a priority.
Chris McDaniel (R): No. Federal spending "crowds out private investment & discourages economic growth."

Balance the books by cutting spending to sustainable levels
As a Commonwealth, our finances are a mess. In 2011 Forbes Magazine ranked Kentucky as the worst managed state in the nation. Last year we balanced our budget with over $1.2 billion dollars in federal stimulus money that is due to end.
We have unfunded pension liabilities in excess of $39 billion and bonded indebtedness in excess of $10 billion.
I will demand fiscal restraint from the State Senate and refuse to vote for new spending without ensuring that it is completely funded and that other areas of spending are cut.
As a true fiscal conservative, I will lead the charge to ensure the books are truly balanced and that we cut spending to a level that is sustainable for the long term.

Era of big spending is over; age of appropriations must end
The primary could offer insight into fundamental questions about the Republican Party: whether longevity and clout in a Deep South state that has venerated such qualities are enough to overcome national trends toward limited-government conservatism.
Chris McDaniel has sought to seize on the new antispending fervor, casting Cochran--who has delivered billions of dollars in federal spending projects to his impoverished state--as an avatar of a bygone political culture. "The national debt is the
greatest moral crisis of this generation," McDaniel said. "So, let's go forth from this place making it perfectly clear that the era of big spending is over. The age of appropriations must end."
After Cochran announced his re-election bid Friday, the
Club for Growth, who have endorsed McDaniel, put out a statement that criticized the senator for his support of earmarked spending projects, for bailing out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and for raising the federal debt limit.

Those in D.C. don't appear to be listening
Thad Cochran voted for the budget compromise to reopen the federal government--giving any potential opponent fodder for attacks. "There are those in D.C. that don't appear to be listening,"
McDaniel said in the statement announcing his candidacy. "We stand today ready to restore this republic." [The endorsing groups commented]:- "Cochran supports earmarks and crossed over to vote with Democrats on a host of issues.
There are those like Senator Ted Cruz who not only vote with conservatives, but give voice to liberty-loving citizens across the country. Then there are those like Thad Cochran who are completely missing in action in the fight against ObamaCare."
- "Chris McDaniel has the courage to stand up to the big spenders in both parties."
- "Chris McDaniel is ready to take the fight straight to the liberals in Washington who have led us to $17 trillion in debt."
