As I visited 100 businesses in 100 days last summer, the families who operate and work in those businesses were frustrated with Washington's inability to live within its means. The Federal Government's overspending is hurting their ability to grow. Why? Because small business owners know that there's no such thing as a free lunch. They know that the Federal Government's overspending will come back to us in the form of higher taxes and unfunded entitlements and a weaker economy. House Republican plans reduce government spending and enact much- needed reforms. Perhaps most importantly, they balance the budget within 10 years. According to a recent op ed in The Wall Street Journal: The spending restraint and balanced-budget parts of the House Budget Committee plan would boost the economy immediately. It is time Washington starts being part of the solution. A balanced budget is good for the country and good for its people. ____________________
