Debt & Deficit
The House has the Power of the Purse, and we need to take that authority seriously. Our leaders need to recognize that every dollar we spend comes from the hard-earned paychecks of the American people, and it’s time for Congress to reverse its irresponsible spending habits and get back to a place of fiscal responsibility.
