 * __5 Important Facts that Relate to issues I'm interested in__**

//Three Issues that are most interesting and important to me, and my position on them//

I think that taxes are too high for Americans, but also farmers, families, and small buisness owners. I think if you reduce the tax burdens on them they could keep their money they earn, and invest that. This would result in more resources and job availability too. Doing this will help the economy grow.
 * __ Issue One- Econoic Growth __**


 * __ Issue Two- Energy __**

Congress should lower the cost of gasoline across the country, while increasing the use of the E-8S ethanol, and clean sources of electricity. We should also increase the amount of renewable fuel usage. Doing so will result in less pollution for the country, and not having to worry about energy shortage, or crises such as oil spills.
 * __Issue Three- Fiscal Responsibility__**

Congress should be able to balance itself on a budget just like any other family in America. The tax dollars should be spent in a smart fashion. They should be spent on thing that will benefit the country as a whole, not just to benefit one individuale. Our government should work towards decreasing tax, instead of increasig, and maintaining fiscal responsibility.

My bill "Cut More, Spend Less" is about lowering taxes and spending less in government. More specifically, it's about lowering tax on low income citizens, and small buisness owners. It's also about spending less money more wisely in the government to avoid adding to the national debt. Our bill will work by lowering taxes on low income citizens, and spending less money in the government. If someone would support this bill then they will increase the percentage of lowering taxes throughout the country, and helping the government have less debt in the future. It will also help the govenment be able to save money, and spend less of it. My personal purpose for choosing to make a bill about the economy was to know how it feels to help the country as a whole. I have had experience within my family by knowing what it's like to be a low income family, and seeing adults have to deal with multiple bills that they can't pay. So, my personal reason to choose this topic for my bill was to want to help those families that can't pay their bills, and or taxes, so they could have an easier, happier life.
