Although Congress wields the power of the purse, this body consistently refuses to use that leverage to curtail unchecked government spending.
Representative Crane recognizes that our national debt threatens the prosperity and security of all Americans. Just like every household and business, Representative Crane believes the federal government needs to enact a balanced budget. Instead of operating by continuing resolutions and omnibus bills filled with special interest priorities, the House must return to the appropriations process as required by law. Specifically, Representative Crane believes we need to pass single-subject spending bills, defund agencies that fail to serve the people, and quit spending money we don’t have on other nations while America drowns in debt.
