But if we only targeted unpopular programs for spending reductions, we would do little to fight our out-of-control spending.

During first 9 weeks of 2011, Federal debt increased at an average of $35.6 billion per week.

It's my hope that we can come together to examine ways we can rein in spending and restore confidence in the dollar.
