Our national debt has reached an all-time high of $12.4 trillion dollars as a result of the huge government expansion under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. And now, Congressional Democrats want to raise our national debt ceiling by an additional $1.9 trillion. This is simply unconscionable.
If the debt ceiling is raised, our country will have a budget deficit of nearly $14.3 trillion! It’s outrageous and frightening to think of passing on such a staggering amount of debt to our children and grandchildren. I will fight the leadership’s push to expand our national debt.
It seems the Pelosi-Reid agenda has ignored the public’s disapproval for their out of control spending. Polls show that a majority of Americans agree that government should live within its means.
As an opponent of the Pelosi-Reid agenda of wasteful spending, expansion of government, increased tax burdens on hardworking Americans, and the massive takeover of our health care system, I will continue to voice my disapproval for these flawed policies.
Together, we will continue working to put the people of Southern Missouri, ahead of Washington politics.
Thank you for your continued support.
