The financial health of our country impacts every aspect of our government. The interest we pay on the current debt alone should be reason enough to act, but the actions of Congress and the administration would indicate they think otherwise. We must change their minds.
Health care, immigration, security, and infrastructure are all significantly impacted by the current deficit spending. As more of our spending is done with borrowed money, and more interest is paid on our increasing debt, the pain will only get worse the longer we wait.
Through a series of real spending reductions and a complete overhaul of the tax code, our country can balance the budget next year. With a balanced budget, and living within our collective means, we can help ensure opportunity for the next generation.
