Balanced Budget Amendment

Reducing spending, restoring Constitutional limits on the size of government, and balancing Washington's books are essential to our nation's future. A pivotal piece of accomplishing that goal is to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. I have led this charge by sponsoring and co-sponsoring a Balanced Budget Amendment 24 times during my tenure. This year, I have re-introduced the Balanced Budget Amendment and for the first time in history, secured co-sponsorship from all 47 Senate Republicans. This is a fight worth fighting and I will not stop until we force Washington to follow the lead of every American family and live within its means.
