Hoeven was in town speaking at the Great Plains Young Professionals Summit, but took a break to tell us what his plans are for improving the national economy. He wants Washington to focus on three things: Creating a good business plan, making the right kind of energy policies, and getting a grip on spending.

Senator John Hoeven - (R) North Dakota: "Cities balance their budget, states balance their budgets families balance their budget, our countries balance their budget."

Hoeven says Washington should have a two year budget plan. One year to get the budget in place, and another to work out the kinks.
