As the Senate considers the nomination of Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC) to serve as Director of the Office of Management and Budget, National Taxpayers Union (NTU) would like to submit for the record the grades he has received on "NTU Rates Congress." Every year we rate U.S. Representatives and Senators on their actual votes -- every vote that affects taxes, spending, and debt. Unlike most organizations that publish ratings, we refuse to play the "rating game" of focusing on only a handful of congressional votes on selected issues. The NTU voting study is the fairest and most accurate guide available on congressional spending. It is a completely unbiased accounting of votes.
