Bob Stuart The November elections returned the U.S. House to a Republican majority, and 6th District Rep. Ben Cline thinks that result can bring a badly needed balance to government. “The view I have is the federal government is too big, does too much and needs to rein in spending,” Cline , R-Botetourt, said to a town hall audience at the Waynesboro Elks Lodge Monday. Much like he did during a successful fall re-election campaign, Cline spoke of the issues he thinks are the key to the success of the Congress starting in January. Those include combating inflation, more energy production and stemming the crisis at America’s southern border. He thinks the staggering inflation can be helped by increasing energy production. Cline said an increase in energy production would not only help with gas prices, but could result in more energy exports than imports for the United States. |
