What happens in Washington matters for Mississippi today more than ever. The national debt is weakening our position in the world and limiting what we can do here at home. We are losing jobs to countries overseas and mortgaging our future to foreign governments.

Projections show the budget deficit will continue into the next decade burdening another generation of Mississippians and Americans with a "debt tax." And in the face of these challenges, Congress continues to spend money they don't have and load up legislation with wasteful pork barrel earmarks which compromise middle class families in Mississippi.

Our economic security depends on changing the way Washington does business. Mississippi needs a Senator who will say 'no' to deficit spending, stop the special interest earmarks, and end the reckless waste of hard-earned tax dollars. That Senator is Ronnie Musgrove.

We can count on Ronnie Musgrove to stand up for fiscal responsibility because he's done it before. As Governor, Musgrove had to balance the budget. And he did. Every year. Without raising taxes. And the one year the state legislature wanted to spend more than we had, he vetoed their spending bill.
