Ed Cox on Budget & Economy

Fiscal responsibility is possible in Washington

I believe that fiscal responsibility is possible in Washington. When I served in the Reagan Administration, I helped cut $88 billion in wasteful government spending from the budget. Here in New York, I've also worked hard to ensure that we do more with less. I know it's possible - if you have the will to do it. If government doesn't spend as much hard-working New Yorkers won't be taxed as much. We need a senator leading the charge for fiscal restraint in Washington."
