Joe Carr on Budget & Economy

 

 


Spending caps are vital to our nation's survival

I believe it is vital to our nation's survival that the federal government not just reduce spending, but that we enact absolute spending caps. As your Senator I will push hard for repealing or defunding Obamacare. We the people will no longer tolerate wasteful federal bailout programs like the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) or any other wasteful program that increases the federal deficit and debt. Washington must learn from Tennessee how to balance its budget.

Limiting the size of the federal government is key to saving our nation's financial future. We have too many programs, departments and too much bureaucracy. Future generations may fail to enjoy the freedom and prosperity we have due to out-of-control government spending and crushing regulations. A combination of eliminating outdated and redundant programs and departments as well as allowing the private sector to perform certain needed duties will go a long way toward getting our country financially solvent.
