Our nation is at a critical juncture. Increasing costs for health care and the recent economic downturn have left many people struggling to get by. Crucial funding is needed to improve infrastructure, boost the economy, provide for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and support our veterans. At the same time, emergency spending and outdated subsidies must not be allowed to continue indefinitely.

But then there is this, “I am an original cosponsor of S.2853, the Bipartisan Task Force for Responsible Fiscal Action Act of 2009, a bill that would expedite commonsense solutions”. Isn’t this the JOB of Congress?? Why do we have an unelected Task Force doing the job of Congress?? If this was one of the public companies the government seems to attack on a regular basis the management would be forced OUT… It is clearly time to force you and other anti American elitist out of office.

WE need term limits to help solve the problem. When we have life long elections of government officials we will always have elitist do nothings in government. MY God we had a KKK member die in office in his 90′s, was he the best the state had to offer??? Or was he in office and part of a system that keeps you in office once elected a couple times. Can you say Ted Kennedy, another example of the elitist out of control enslaving the American people with the intrusion of government into all parts of your life and taking your HARD earned money.

I firmly believe we should implement sound fiscal policies that will help reduce our nation’s $12.9 trillion debt. That’s why I am an original cosponsor of S.2853, the Bipartisan Task Force for Responsible Fiscal Action Act of 2009, a bill that would expedite commonsense solutions to the nation’s long-term fiscal challenges. Unfortunately, the legislation did not receive the necessary 60 votes to pass when it was offered as an amendment in the Senate.

It is essential that we break the log jam that has ensnarled Congress for over a decade and threatens the solvency of the Federal government. That’s why I supported the creation of the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. The commission is comprised of private citizens and elected officials from across the political spectrum who are tasked with recommending solutions to the nation’s long-term fiscal challenges. I am hopeful their recommendations will jump start debate on how to improve the nation’s fiscal outlook.
