Earl L. “Buddy” Carter is an experienced businessman, health care professional and faithful public servant. For over 32 years Buddy owned Carter’s Pharmacy, Inc. where South Georgians trusted him with their most valuable assets: their health, lives and families. While running his business, he learned how to balance a budget and create jobs. He also saw firsthand the devastating impacts of government overregulation which drives his commitment to ensuring that the federal government creates policies to empower business instead of increasing burdens on America’s job creators.
The national debt is the single biggest threat to our national security and, unchecked, threatens to leave future generations to a life indebted to other countries. I believe it is time for Washington to finally take a cue from hard working families, small businesses, and states, counties, and municipalities by living within its means and learning to balance a budget.
Congress owes Georgians a responsible, balanced budget that preserves the economic opportunities, personal freedoms, and individual liberties of our children and grandchildren. I will continue to fight to end Washington’s out of control spending addiction.
As a Member of Congress, I have voted to cut more than $5 trillion in waste from the federal budget which reaches balance and begins paying off the national debt within ten years without raising taxes.
