Scyller Borglum on Budget & Economy

	Scyller Borglum on Budget & Economy

Not a revenue problem; a spending problem

FEDERAL BUDGET: REDUCE DEBT & SPENDING
$22 TRILLION IN DEBT
The federal budget is out of control. We've had an unbalanced budget 45 out of 50 years.
And no...it's not only the Democrats' fault.
We can NOT sustain this way. We don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. My greatest priority will be coming up with common sense bipartisan solutions to actively reduce the amount of spending congress approves each year. Source: 2020 S.D.

Wooden Nickel Plan: Public vote on budget increases over 5%

Borglum is proposing a referendum vote on significant government spending increases. The Republican proposed her Wooden Nickel Plan, which she said will help address the country's deficit. Under the plan, should Congress increase discretionary funding by more than 5% in one year, citizens would automatically have a chance to vote on it. "This empowers the people to decide if the increase is justified and strips a little bit of power away from Congress, which we know needs to happen," Borglum said.
