  • "Most people balance their household budgets and watch carefully how they spend their hard-earned money to improve their quality of life. I look at the federal budget the same way - it must be balanced, and spending must be reduced, based on revenues. In addition, we need a smaller federal government and less debt." (lisamcclainforcongress.com)
  • "Reducing federal spending along with cutting the national debt requires a sweeping change in how Congress passes spending bills. This change will require a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It’s time to get very serious about our annual budget deficits our $28 trillion dollar national debt." (lisamcclainforcongress.com)
  • "While you were sleeping, the Democrats passed their “infrastructure” bill. I voted no because it is filled with pork & only 10% is actual infrastructure. Michigan’s roads and bridges need repairs, but the wasteful spending in this bill will harm America for generations to come." (twitter.com)
  • "@SpeakerPelosi has decided to succumb to the radical Squad instead of following the rules. Minimum wage can't be included in the Senate version. If this non-COVID relief bill was really about immediate COVID relief, wouldn't we be voting on a bill that could actually become law?" (twitter.com)
  • "@SpeakerPelosi is putting a bill on the floor she says is for COVID relief. But, it's not. It's a wish list of leftist priorities, skyrockets the national debt and barely helps those most impacted by the pandemic. I strongly oppose this misguided legislation." (twitter.com)
  • "The Democrats said local governments were desperate for relief due to the pandemic and included $350 billion in aid in the ”COVID relief” bill. Local governments don't even know how to spend this money, how is this related to COVID relief?" (twitter.com)

  • "It's a somber day for America now that we have rejoined the #ParisClimateAccord. Say goodbye to thousands of good paying manufacturing jobs and low energy prices. Say hello to more roving blackouts like in CA and TX thanks to solar panels & windmills #bumperstickerpipedreams" (twitter.com)
  • "With the cancelling of the #KeystoneXLPipeline, we are going backwards. America must be energy independent." (twitter.com)

  • "Energy costs will be cut when America becomes energy independent. Not through wasteful climate legislation." (twitter.com)

  • "I am a strong defender of the 2nd Amendment. I strongly support an individual's right to own guns, which is clearly protected by the Constitution. I believe the 2nd Amendment enables law-abiding citizens throughout the country to own firearms to protect themselves and their families. I oppose federal licensing of law-abiding gun owners and national gun registration. I am completely opposed to any action that puts any level of restrictions on our right to keep and bear arms." (lisamcclainforcongress.com)
