Only seven out of 100 senators ranked better than Inhofe in the NTU's annual report which adds up the total spending proposed in every bill which is sponsored or cosponsored by each member of Congress.

Oklahomans didn't send me to Washington to run up the national credit card and increase the national debt. They sent me to help balance the budget, reduce the size of government and restore fiscal responsibility. I take this mandate seriously because it is right for America's future. This year's report covered 346 Senate bills introduced from January 1995 through February 1996, and cosponsored through April 16, 1996. For each member of Congress, the NTU added up the cost estimates for all the bills that member sponsored and co-sponsored.
