As Utah County Democrats, we believe government should live within its means. We deplore the irresponsibility of those who have caused the ballooning federal deficit through mismanagement and the refusal to compromise with reasonable cuts and increased revenues. We seek to elect federal representatives who will work to responsibly reduce our monumental debt without sacrificing investments in infrastructure, education, and technologies that are essential to future economic growth.

At the state level, we support a rainy-day fund to prepare for emergencies. We urge better accounting procedures for estimating revenues and expenditures.

We call for comprehensive tax reform and responsible tax policies.
