Restoring a Prosperous Economy
Three years ago, trillions of dollars of excessive federal spending unleashed the worst inflation in 40 years. I opposed these measures, and as a senior member of the House Budget Committee, I have advocated for dramatic budget reforms, including abolishing congressional earmarks, unauthorized appropriations, grants that rob one community to pay for another, and subsidies that prop up failing industries at the expense of consumers.
I supported and cosponsored H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act. This legislation prioritizes two key goals:
-Increasing the production and export of American energy
-Reducing the regulatory burdens that make it harder to build American infrastructure and grow our economy
Please reach out to my offices if you have a concern, want to hear more about what I’m working on in Congress, or are seeking assistance with a federal agency. I have a full team in California and in Washington, D.C. ready to assist constituents.
A Balanced Budget Amendment is Our Nation’s Last Best Hope
We have reached the crisis I warned about more than ten years ago: Interest on the National Debt now exceeds our entire defense budget. History warns that nations that bankrupt themselves aren’t around very long. There is no substitute for a Balanced Budget Amendment that limits federal spending to actual revenues, and that is why the first measure I have introduced every session is H.J.Res 9 that simply provides that “The United States government may not increase its debt except for a specific purpose by law adopted by three-fourths of the membership of both Houses of Congress.”
