Rep. Paul Broun: Federal Debt 'An Enemy of Our Nation'

U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, whose 10th District includes Dacula and who is running in the 2014 primary for the U.S. Senate, wouldn't support fellow Republican Paul Ryan's budget because its projections were too optimistic.

According to a story in the Athens Banner Herald, Broun told the Clarke County GOP this week that debt and out-of-control spending was "an enemy of our nation." Instead, he proposed a balanced budget amendment that has a formula of inflation-plus-population growth for spending increases.

The story says Broun also proposes cutting both the corporate tax rate and the capital gains tax. And also eliminating the bloated U.S. Department of Education and the jobs-killing Environmental Protection Agency.
