Miller-Meeks will put brakes on runaway spending
N/A
Oct. 30, 2010 12:05 am
I want to state why we should vote for Mariannette Miller-Meeks as our 2nd District congressional representative.
She will help put the brakes on runaway spending and, at the same time, try to fix our health care system by addressing those parts of the law that do not address the cost and/or quality of health care.
Miller-Meeks will work hard at reducing wasteful spending. Our spending this year alone has obligated us to almost $1.4 trillion additional debt and a trillion more each year in the years to come.
Dave Loebsack has not represented the people of the 2nd District well at all. He's following the party line. Working on an unworkable health care law for a year at the expense of creating jobs is inexcusable.
