- I support creating a healthier economy, improving the lives of hardworking families, and protecting our citizens from those who wish us harm. We must work to create good paying jobs and reduce the size of Washington so that everyone has an opportunity to succeed. We must reduce our national debt, balance the budget, and reduce wasteful Washington spending. We must let families, hardworking taxpayers, and small businesses keep more of their hard earned money to spend as they see fit. We must ensure that America takes an active and strong role in protecting our nation from terrorists.
