Budget and Spending
Follow the budget process instead of ignoring it! We cannot continue to spend more than we have!
*Congressional Budget Office
My background in accounting and the Navy as well as working with the SSA has given me insight into how our government can work better for the taxpayers. As a mom of 4 and controller in a private manufacturing facility, I understand what it means to balance a budget. WNC deserves a representative that understands you cannot outspend your means.
We must do one of two things: increase revenue or decrease spending. Finding inefficiency is part of the equation however there is a point where reducing operational expenses within federal agencies becomes a deficiency in services to you. This is a delicate balance which requires experience to understand. Reducing unnecessary spending is another form of balancing our budget. Identifying these reductions are important however reducing unnecessary spending takes time to implement since programs and agencies would have to adjust. Incremental changes over years will bring us to a balanced budget.
