No More Wasteful Spending (Rep. John Boozman)

by Ark. GOP Rep. John Boozman - 04/21/09 3:11 PM ET

I am just as frustrated with the out-of-control spending in Washington that Americans who are participating in taxpayer tea parties all across this country are. Americans want lawmakers to create policies that create jobs, protect jobs and protect pension plans. The massive spending bills passed by this Congress don’t prove to hardworking Arkansans that we are using their tax money efficiently. We need to curb wasteful spending, focus on job creation and debt control. We need to do what is best of our country and I’m committed to looking for alternative solutions and fighting for a capitalistic democracy.
