Budget and Economy

[Download a Side by Side Comparison]

The budget in Washington is broken. Every family in North Carolina pays $1,500 in taxes each year just to pay the interest on our national debt. As a budget expert in the state Senate, Kay has balanced the North Carolina budget and pushed reform measures to open the budgeting process to the public. In the U.S. Senate, she will work towards a balanced budget and fiscal constraints, and she will demand we follow pay-as-you-go rules. She will be a diligent steward of taxpayers’ money by fighting against wasteful federal contracts and finding ways to reduce our national debt.

Kay supports tax cuts for middle class families instead of borrowing billions from China to pay for reckless tax cuts for the extremely wealthy who never asked for them. She favors closing loopholes for big, multinational corporations so we can make sure small businesses and entrepreneurs can thrive. Kay will also continue the work she has started in the state Senate by supporting economic programs to create and keep good jobs right here in North Carolina.
