Will veto any deficit spending, debt ceiling increase
As President, I will use my Constitutional authority to block any new borrowing. I will veto any spending bill that would lead to a deficit, and veto any debt ceiling increase. I will give every Cabinet secretary a specific spending
reduction target to meet and hold them accountable. There is simply no excuse for sticking our children and grandchildren with the bill for these bipartisan bloated budgets.

Voluntary funding & Balanced Budget Amendment
We oppose any legal requirements forcing employers to serve as tax collectors. We support any initiative to reduce or abolish any tax & oppose any increase on any tax for any reason. To the extent possible, we advocate that all public services be funded
in a voluntary manner. Government should not incur debt, which burdens future generations without their consent. We support the passage of a "Balanced Budget Amendment" to the U.S. Constitution, provided that the budget is balanced exclusively by
cutting expenditures, and not by raising taxes.
A free and competitive market allocates resources in the most efficient manner. Each person has the right to offer goods and services to others on the free market. The only proper role of government in
the economic realm is to protect property rights, adjudicate disputes, and provide a legal framework in which voluntary trade is protected. All efforts by government to redistribute wealth, or to control or manage trade, are improper in a free society.
