The national debt and the unrestrained growth of government spending are among the greatest threats to our nation’s future. Each year, the federal government spends more and more of your dollars on corporate handouts, pork-barrel projects, welfare programs and out of control entitlements.

We need to cut spending and balance the budget before it’s too late.
