Balance
The Budget, Pay Down The Debt
Our government is piling up an endless stream of debt on the "credit
cards" of the next generation.
Deficits are taxes. Passed on to someone else. Every dollar of debt is a dollar of tax. To be paid later.
Politicians always say we need more "tax relief" to "stimulate the economy" at this time.
I guess they think the economy will take care of itself for the next generation? What we need is "tax relief for two-year-olds." Let's end these deficits. We owe it to our children and their children.
I will not vote for an imbalanced budget. I will not vote to extend the debt limit. No matter what. No matter which party is in power.
I also support structural change to enforce balanced budgets. History has clearly shown that our Congress and Presidents -- and the Republican and Democratic parties -- all lack the fiscal discipline and integrity to be trusted with our money any other way.
They are too busy giving it
away to
their corporate sponsors in exchange for campaign contributions. It is
a dirty wash cycle, that never comes clean.
