The conservative powerhouse Club for Growth has taken a decidedly harsh view of former Utah governor Jon Huntsman’s fiscal approach in a new, detailed analysis of his record in office.
While Huntsman’s tax policies get a positive review, his record on government spending, regulation and health-care reform come in for considerable criticism in a new “presidential white paper” released by the Club.
“Between his inexcusable record on spending and his statement that ‘health care is a right’, Governor Huntsman has a lot of explaining to do if he wants to win the Republican nomination,” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola.
In its white paper, the Club notes that Huntsman at one point considered an individual mandate for health-care coverage and created a government-run health-care exchange. The organization argues that he expanded state government unnecessarily in the 2000s.
