Bruce Poliquin on Budget & Economy

 

 


Build a less intrusive and less expensive federal government

In Congress, I'll fight entrenched bureaucrats and status quo politicians to build a limited, less intrusive, and less expensive federal government.

Less government spending and borrowing will allow taxes to be cut. Eliminating unnecessary regulations will make it less complicated and costly to start and run a business.

Supports a Balanced Budget Amendment.

Poliquin supports the CC survey question on Balanced Budget

CC.org's self-description: "The Christian Coalition voter guide [is] one of the most powerful tools Christians have ever had to impact our society during elections. This simple tool has helped educate tens of millions of citizens across this nation as to where candidates for public office stand on key faith and family issues.

The Coalition is a political organization, made up of pro-family Americans who care deeply about ensuring that government serves to strengthen and preserve, rather than threaten, our families and our values. To that end, we work continuously to identify, educate and mobilize Christians for effective political action." The CC survey summarizes candidate stances on the following topic: 'Passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution'
