Greg Brannon on Government Reform |
Brannon questioned whether Burr uses the constitution as a strict guide, and questioned whether Burr is truly a conservative. "Is it conservative to fund an unconstitutional executive order to have amnesty?" Brannon asked. "That's Obama's plan. [Burr has] not done the job of hindering President Obama. He's actually aided him in fundamentally transforming America."
When asked if he agreed with Burr on any policy matters, Brannon would only say that Burr believes in a "bigger government than I do." Brannon said he believes in a constitutionally limited government. "What has he done to shrink government?" he said. "Can you name one?"
We have to do more than just talk about reducing spending and eliminating the deficit. We cannot continue to fund federal programs we can't afford, dumping ever more debt and interest onto the shoulders of our children and grandchildren to pay back into perpetuity.
As your Senator, I will be committed to eliminating federal programs that no longer work, finding free-market alternatives to healthcare and other liabilities, curbing runaway spending, finally balancing the budget, and dramatically lowering taxes.
