Clay Higgins on Budget & Economy

Insidious lust for power and money drives deficit spending

I will join the fight for a balanced budget amendment. We also must dismantle most, if not all, of the so called "4th branch" of government, AKA the "Alphabet Branch" of government. These massive bureaucracies--like the IRS, the EPA, the DoE (the list goes on)--not only devour the People's treasure, they also operate outside of the parameters of Constitutional control.

I support greatly diminishing or eliminating the "4th Branch" of our federal government. I support the Constitutional process to establish a balanced budget amendment to our Constitution. I support a freeze of federal spending at contemporary levels coupled with a 1% decrease in spending across the board for 10 years.
