Paul Ryan Budget Proposal
The proposal was killed after being voted down in the U.S. Senate with a 40-59 vote.[100] The proposal would have cut about $5 trillion over the next decade and aimed to balance the budget by the end of the 10-year period.[99] The 2013 bill had opposition from 10 Republicans — the same number that voted against it in 2012. In 2011, only four Republicans cast a vote in opposition.[99] Democrats have unanimously voted against the bill every year. 2013 Farm bill
The farm bill historically has included both billions in farm subsidies and billions in food stamps. Including both of the two massive programs has in the past helped win support from rural-state lawmakers and those representing big cities.[103] After the bill failed in the House in June 2013 amid opposition from rank-and-file Republicans, House leaders removed the food stamp portion in a bid to attract conservative support.[103] Government shutdown

Personal Gain Index

- See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)
The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:
PGI: Change in net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Duncan's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $151,018 to $565,000. That averages to $358,009, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican House members in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Duncan ranked as the 303rd most wealthy representative in 2012.[139] Between 2004 and 2012, Duncan‘s calculated net worth[140] decreased by an average of 7 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[141]
| John Duncan, Jr. Yearly Net Worth | |
|---|---|
| Year | Average Net Worth |
| 2004 | $760,869 |
| 2012 | $358,009 |
| Growth from 2004 to 2012: | −53% |
| Average annual growth: | −7%[142] |
| Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[143] | |
The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.
PGI: Donation Concentration Metric
Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Duncan received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Air Transport industry. Comparatively, the top industry employer in Tennessee's 2nd Congressional District was Educational services, and health care and social assistance , according to a 2012 U.S. Census survey.[144]
From 1989-2014, 28.05 percent of Duncan's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[145]
| John Duncan Jr. (Tennessee) Campaign Contributions | |
