Ralph Norman on Budget & Economy

 

 


Deal with $19 trillion debt by Balanced Budget Amendment

Ralph's Plan: Pass a Balanced Budget Amendment. The greatest threat to our national and economic security as a nation is our ever-growing $19 trillion debt. Forcing Congress (like we force our State Legislature) to have a balanced budget each year will end the out-of-control government spending.

Why I Am Running for Congress: I want to put my qualifications to work. I am the only candidate with a successful business record, as well as proven experience--albeit brief--in the political arena. As a businessman, I have provided jobs for hundreds of people in our community & have helped to strengthen our local economy. I understand how the economy works, how to balance a checkbook, and how to deliver a product on time and under budget-skills Congress desperately needs.

PVS:Don't promote economic growth via federal spending.

Norman opposes the PVS survey question on federal stimulus

Project Vote Smart inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Economy: Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth?' PVS self-description: "The Political Courage Test provides voters with positions on key issues. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
