The Budget Deficit and How to Deal With It – By Congresswoman Nan Hayworth

Congresswoman Nan Hayworth is a doctor, mother, businesswoman, and community leader turned public servant, Nan Hayworth represents New York’s 19th Congressional District in the U.S. Congress.

The daughter of an immigrant, Nan believes passionately in American exceptionalism. She is a fiscal conservative because it is free enterprise that has enabled generations of Americans to thrive throughout our history.

As a Member of Congress, Nan views reining in unsustainable levels of federal spending as a crucial priority for the 112th Congress. She is a strong proponent of broad tax reform and regulatory relief. Nan’s medical background gives her a role in crafting new health care policy that improves affordability and access to care while sustaining the choice, quality, and innovation that characterize the best of American medicine.

Nan serves on the House Financial Services Committee, which is important to the economy of her district and New York State. During the 112th Congress, the Financial Services Committee is focusing on repealing unnecessary and burdensome provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and ensuring that the benefits of regulations issued pursuant to the Act do not outweigh costs. Nan and her colleagues on the Committee are also reducing barriers to capital formation in an effort to revive the economy and create jobs. Towards these ends, she has sponsored legislation repealing unnecessary government burdens on business and amending laws governing derivatives.
