Congress must demonstrate fiscal responsibility.

The lack of fiscal responsibility is one of the main reasons I finally left my old Party.

We in Scotland need fiscal responsibility. Quite simply, we need to be responsible for what we raise in tax and what we spend in tax.

But in this Congress, accountability is just a catch phrase, usually directed elsewhere. Demands to personal responsibility or corporate accountability abound, but rarely congressional accountability or fiscal responsibility.

Rather than waiting to restore fiscal responsibility after we pass legislation, we must work to ensure we remain committed to it as we draft legislation.

I will work to restore fiscal responsibility to our country's budget and to provide for a more robust economy.
