Balancing the Budget

America is $17 trillion in debt and growing, and we cannot continue to spend recklessly and hand this debt to future generations. Getting our fiscal house in order is not just about budgets; it’s an economic imperative. A government that spends within its means spurs growth, protects investments in critical government functions, and ensures we hand future generations a strong and secure country.

Instead, our current bloated, inefficient government stifles small business growth and chokes off opportunity for the middle class. Plain and simple, this is a failure of leadership, and we need new leaders in Washington, D.C., willing to put the concerns of hardworking Americans ahead of their next reelection.

It’s time we go line-by-line through the federal budget, eliminating waste and duplication wherever it exists.

Throughout my life, I have met difficult challenges head-on, and that’s exactly the commitment I will bring to reining in our spending and supporting pro-growth policies, putting our country back on a path to a stronger future.



Quote:




Reigniting our Economy

Our community is still suffering from the recession and lack of economic growth and opportunity. Middle class families are struggling to make ends meet and are living paycheck to paycheck. Seniors are suffering as their hard-earned retirement savings diminish. Young people are struggling to afford college, graduating with unprecedented debt, and are met with little opportunity when entering the workforce, and many are leaving Southern Arizona because of it.

To create more jobs and more opportunity, we must first get government off the backs of small businesses, the true engines of economic growth. Small businesses create 7 out of every 10 new jobs, but they have been faced with endless red-tape and uncertainty coming from Washington.

Congress needs to stop bickering and start doing its basic job by passing annual budgets and the 12 required appropriations bills while addressing our rising debt. This will help small businesses in Southern Arizona by instilling a sense of certainty in our economy and future. Congress should also focus on eliminating suffocating regulations, keeping taxes low, and restoring the 40 hour work week. Furthermore, it should replace Obamacare with reforms that do not discourage hiring more than 50 workers or burden employers with more taxes, costs, and penalties. It should provide more access to capital so business owners will start to invest, hire, and grow again.

We must also protect the critical assets in our community that have significant local economic impact – Davis-Monthan (DM) Air Force Base and Fort Huachuca. Together, they provide thousands of well-paying jobs in the community and billions of dollars of economic impact in housing, retail, restaurants, and support to other small businesses. I was stationed at DM four times and worked with many of the specialists at Fort Huachuca in my 22 years as a military officer. I know first-hand that we need to defend and protect these national security treasures in our communities, and I am the candidate best equipped to do so.

Southern Arizona has numerous strategic traits that need to be capitalized on to grow our economy. Although some of the challenges of attracting businesses to our community are based on state and local government issues, as your representative in Congress, I can provide the vision and leadership needed to set the conditions for growth. We are a natural location to become a logistics hub for the booming trade with Mexico, and we need to be innovative to encourage companies that want to manufacture on both sides of the border. While we secure the border, we must have a wide gate and ensure our ports of entry have the infrastructure and manning to attract trade through Arizona instead of California and Texas.

We also have the potential to become a hub for the defense, aerospace, and bio-tech industries and must create conditions to attract companies to relocate here. I will fight for appropriate research dollars to be invested in the University of Arizona, while also supporting initiatives like TechLaunch AZ that help turn research into companies that will create jobs in our community.

Reigniting our economy takes someone who will fight tooth and nail for the people and small businesses in Southern Arizona, and that is exactly what I plan to do.




Quote:


Rebuilding the Middle Class

For decades, our middle class came with the security of a well-paying job and the opportunity for those willing to work hard to get ahead. But, today, too many hardworking people in our community are struggling to even buy groceries and put gas in the car, let alone save for the future.

I’m running for Congress because it’s time we make our economy and government work for the middle class again. This starts by putting a stop to the never-ending bureaucracy that impedes small businesses’ ability to grow, innovate, and hire.

The best way to help those out of work to find a job, give more opportunity to students, and give a leg up to struggling families is to reignite our economy (see above). We need to assist the unemployed through community efforts and appropriate, efficient government programs that incentivize work and do not waste hard-earned taxpayer dollars because of redundancies, inefficiencies, fraud, and abuse.

I support a real “all of the above” energy strategy that takes advantage of the newly discovered oil and gas in America, puts us on a real path to energy independence, and brings the price of gas and electricity down.

We need to modernize our education system to equip students with the skills needed for jobs in a changing workforce with a focus on critical thinking, high-tech skills, and tradecraft. We must support health care reform that brings costs down to make it affordable and available for middle class families.

We need to keep taxes low so Southern Arizonans can make the best choices to spend, invest, and save their hard-earned money.

I am committed to cutting through the partisan bickering in Washington so we can pass these commonsense solutions and make the American dream a reality again.

Do you think it was because of him?  Because most people have suffered.  Just out of curiosity, what did you do?




  Most people ? I don't think I can agree . I don't see it . When O took office I used to hop in my car , drive across the bay bridge to go shroom hunting in sf at 9 am , no traffic problems at all .
  Now 35 miles takes 2.5 to 3 hrs . 9 am across the bridge is out of the question its a parking lot  . 20 miles just took me an hour and a half . I've completly given up working in San Jose . All of this isn't happening because people are suffering , it's because they are going to work . I'm just selfish enough to wish for higher unemployment or higher taxes to build more roads , roads on top of roads .  Traffic gets in the way of making money .

  I found the only job I could working with nobody who speaks the English . Digging holes sucks especially in the rain so I found better jobs , threw every penny I ever saved and all my wife's money too and borrowed some money and bought a house in forecloseure that commonsense told me I shouldnt buy . But the market was bottomed out so it also told me you could make a fortune if it recovers .  It would only work if I eventually made more money otherwise the payments would catch up and I would be fucked . It was a huge gamble but it worked . When I sell it next summer it's gunna be the best summer ever .
    Last year I noticed they are building track homes like crazy , so I figured why not get a business liscense and get in on the action .  I gave up a good paying union  job to risk making it on my own .
  I do masonry so my business model is simple  . All I need is employees , mixer, flatbed , scaffolding , saws and maybe a  boom lift , but I can rent that 100000 machine that's easier than owning it for now ,
  Anyway what I'm getting at is I had a few things going on already  , savings ,  the ability to borrow , a trade education to fastrack business liscense  , but if I had done all of this at the end of the bush presidency I would have failed massively . I would have lost everything .
    I know contractors that lost everything at that time . I know a contractor I worked for that shot himself over it . I watched jobs contractors had on the books for months dissapear and they just laid everyone off . I wouldn't have succeded then .
  Now though , things have changed .  I'm looking at contractors around me and I'm seeing people struggle to satisfy customers because they have too much work and not enough employees . I'm watching a house building explosion . I'm watching generals scream at people because not enough production is happening . Literally screaming at the top of thier lungs . You motherfucker why aren't you here doing my plaster .
   

Explain to me in your own words why I should vote republican . I'm not seeing watever it is your saying is so bad .
    How you end your presidency is important . It's really important  . It defines you .
  Right now it looks like the black guy is going to end way better than the last president who I suspect might have hung out and drank beer at maybe more than one occasion with Rick perry on niggerhead ranch . 
So why are we repudiating anything and why should I vote republican?

The difference a president makes is not necessarily in whether or not there are depressions/recessions/booms during his presidency, it has to do with the lenght and depth and frequency of the depressions.  With the Obama presidency we
ve seen one very deep, long depression.  with Bush we saw shorter, but more shallow and frequent recessions.  Clinton seemed to run pretty good.


What you are going to see this time is a robust economy by 2016, due mainly to collapsing oil prices, and republican congress getting a lot of the credit since it is happening under their watch.  Obama will get some credit, but I think it is in spite of himm.  We could have a super boom in oil/gas if he opened up federal lands.

I would predict republicans keeping Congress in 2016 and dems keeping the presidency since the electorate likes stability.  the wild card will be health care--by 2016 is everybody happy with it or is a large segment of the population paying through the ear for it?

And it doesnt matter what it would have cost them, the perception that Obamacare cost them will play a big role.

So this shitty economy is the repulican presidents fault . We've seen a long recession started by him . Lasted way past his term .  Hey we agree . High five .
    I'm sticking by my point . Im watching people hire people . Which is the opposite of what I saw at the end of bushes term.
      If your broke right now it's not obamas fault it's yours . Stop blaming the govt for your problems and go find a job . I saw a 1 armed mexican digging a hole the other day so I don't wana hear any complaining .

Just what policies of Obama have caused a comeback--if there is one--in the economy?  If you say quanitative easing, that has helped mostly the markets, not the main street.  But we are seeing a bounce in the economy now, and it is because of oil.  The US has enormous strength if it uncorks its natural resources.  We see oil developed on PRIVATE Land as the main growth. 

During The Barry Era the 1% have increased the wealth gap over the rest of the people by record amounts.  His policies haven't helped the little guy.  Not much of anything the government has done, R or D, has helped the economy.


No Bush didn't contribute much either.  But what was Bush?  A Big Spending, authoritarian with an R in front of his name instead of a D.

Barry did do enough to ensure that Congress is the Republican's to lose for the next 3 or 4 cycles.  And the rate they are going, they will piss it away.

A collapse like we saw in 2008 will necessarily last a whole lot longer, unless people are willing to accept extreme measures like a WW2 type stimulus, and the debt that goes along with it.  At least the country was willing to accept higher taxes after WW2 to pay the debt back down.

You can't make a case for higher taxes when the government passes a spending bill that is loaded with Billions of dollars worth of pork for their buddies in industry. They have to be willing to cut spending.


And you know something that is rather interesting?  Since 2010, and the 'gridlock' brought about by republicans (supposedly) where
nothing has gotten done,'  we've had a boom in oil and gas--ON PRIVATE LAND THAT CAN'T EASILY BE BLOCKED BY THE FEDS--and an increase in GDP with a subsequent reduction of debt as a percentage of GDP. 

Maybe if we made government get out of the way business would take off again in the US? :shrug:

Stimulus spending is the best thing for an economy in a recession (obviously it also helps when times are good, but who wants to go into debt unless it's absolutely necessary).

Of course I don't support the recent cromnibus spending bill, but that wasn't a stimulus bill - spending remained within previously negotiated caps.  It was another shift of taxpayer money from the people to Wall Street.  Anyone who thinks political contributions don't have an effect how Government acts is being proven VERY wrong.

What do mean "get out of the way"?  As you already pointed out, oil and gas IS booming.  :shrug:

With Obama in office Unemployment is lower than it has been in many years  ,  this is a fact.
now if only Obama stopped buying into republican policies so much the country would be much wealthier.

He's still better than ANY republican, and is definitly not a Bill Clinton , but he's a damn good president who's doing the best job he can fixing a republicant mess.

Lol when Obamas presidency ends and a republicant takes office  Obamas policies will begin to work for them , although Obama will still get bashed because the repbublcans are to stupid to realize change "unless a republican is in office" because Obama actually fixed problems.  Republican voters are Americas problem , that's just a fact.

When Clinton took office in 93 the republicans thanked Bush and Reagan for their trickled down economic bullshit that flourished the economy with jobs . yeah fuckin right. It was because Clinton is a bad ass president.



I like what Robert anton wilson has to say about Republicans  and that is , living with republicans is like living behind a wall amongst a bunch of dinoaurs. Its true because republicans will only listen to a democrat when the democrats in Republican favor which isn't very fucking nice.

Repbublcans are deceitfully smart because they targeted the groups who would blindly listen to fear mongering propaganda which are the same ones living in rural America , go to church , watch faux news , racist , negetive , Ect
