Connie Mack: Rand Paul Absolutely Right on Fiscal Discipline

Former congressman and U.S. Senate candidate Connie Mack is applauding U.S. Sen. Rand Pauls remarks that followed the presidents State of the Union address. Mack said:

Senator Rand Paul is right America must cut spending and balance our budget.

The Mack Penny Plan, which I introduced in the 112th Congress, prescribes a common-sense way to balance our budget. Its a simple plan that every family and every business has had to do themselves. The federal government must do the same.

I appreciate Senator Pauls leadership on fixing Americas finances and I look forward to doing all I can to help him in his effort to make the Mack Penny Plan the law of the land.

Mack's "Penny Plan" would have balanced the federal budget in under a decade by cutting one penny out of every federal dollar spent and capping spending at 18 percent of GDP.Paul was an early co-sponsor in the 112th Congress.
