Fight Runaway Spending: Republicans need to do what is right: balance the budget, reduce
the national debt, and end the practice of federal earmarks. Jeff is leading the fight to get serious about fiscal discipline.
Less Taxes and More Jobs: Jeff knows you spend your money better than the federal government. He is fighting to cut taxes across-the board on families and small businesses, and simplify the tax code. With less taxes and less government, our economy will create more jobs. H A True Conservative Record H

Congressman Flake and Senator McCain Introduce Debt Buy-Down Act |

| Washington, D.C. – Republican Congressman Jeff Flake, who represents Arizona’s Sixth District, along with Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona, today introduced H.R. 5536, the Debt Buy-Down Act of 2010.
The bill allows taxpayers to check a box on their annual tax return to designate up to 10 percent of their federal income tax liability to reduce the national debt. The bill then requires Congress to reduce federal spending by that amount. If Congress fails to reduce spending, the bill institutes an across the board cut equal to the amount designated by taxpayers. The Debt Buy-Down Act was originally introduced in 1992 during the 102nd Congress and was introduced in several subsequent Congresses. “Congress may be unwilling to address the national debt, but I suspect that taxpayers do not share our reluctance,” said Flake. “This bill was a great idea when it was first introduced in the early ‘90’s; it’s absolutely critical now.” “We simply cannot maintain the level of debt that we expect to carry over the next decade without severe economic consequences. If Congress won’t tackle the problem, we ought to let taxpayers do it for us.” |
