Reducing the Debt
Arizona is currently $22 BILLION dollars in debt! That’s not a very well known fact. Our Governor has acted like a fiscal conservative all the while the state debt grew by two billion dollars under his watch. Were you aware of that? Likely not. Our state spends approximately $40 billion each year, yet for most of that spending there is absolutely no oversight or accountability. Does it seem right to you to keep throwing this debt onto future generations just like the Federal Government? NO. We need a plan for reducing the debt. I can get that started. A simple resolution would be that 5% of revenue must go to retiring the debt, not just paying interest, but 5% towards the principal. We can do this. We MUST do this. We cannot leave our grandchildren’s futures mortgaged because we couldn’t act with discipline.
