  • On December 16, 2015, Mike Huckabee criticized the fiscal 2016 budget deal reached by members of Congress. He said, “I’m disgusted. There’s no other word for it. Amidst the chaos of yesterday’s GOP debate in Las Vegas, it was Congress that was quietly gambling away our future. Washington Republicans announced a massive bipartisan budget deal that preserves ObamaCare, funds Planned Parenthood, solidifies Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, and allows the White House to accept thousands of un-vetted Syrian refugees. … Americans are sick and tired of the political theatre that passes for productivity in Washington. With billions in handouts to Hollywood and America’s enemies, this $1.1 trillion deal adds billions of dollars to our $18.5 trillion national debt and continues our country on a path to ruin. What will it take for Washington politicians to wake-up, stand-up to Obama and put Americans first?”[2]
  • In January 2008, Huckabee advocated for investing in infrastructure as a "long-term" method to stimulate the economy while rebuilding and improving sewer systems, water systems, and road.[3] That same month, Huckabee deemed the construction of two additional highway lanes from Maine to Florida a better use of the $150 billion President Barack Obama would likely spend on his stimulus program.[4]
  • When Huckabee left office as governor of Arkansas in January 2007, he left the state with an $844 million surplus.[5]
