Government Accountability

Spending is out of control and there are no serious efforts being made to effectively reduce or even manage spending and the budget deficit.

I’ve talked about big numbers many times. Million, Billion, and Trillion sound about the same and many people think they are about the same.
It is not the case. 1 Billion is the same as saying 1000 Million. 1 Trillion is the same as saying 1000 Billion. If you earn $1000 a day, it will take 2,739,726 years to earn a Trillion dollars.

Without significant reform, we will leave our children and grandchildren a $40 trillion debt. Much of that debt growth is result of irresponsible stimulus spending that drives inflation and debt without really helping restore the economy.

History has shown that tax reduction stimulates economic activity and actually increases tax revenue. Economic growth fuels both prosperity and increased tax revenue. We need to make the middle-class tax cuts permanent and look at both simplification of the tax code and reduce tax rates. We need a step-by-step commitment, which starts with a responsible balanced budget.

There are a variety of options for managing the money that the government takes from us. One is a zero-base budget that would require justification for spending in every government agency.
