Ryan Binkley on Budget & Economy

Two percent cut in nondefense discretionary spending

I will pursue a Balanced Budget Amendment. Already, 46 states have some type of balanced budget requirement in place; 37 are in the State constitution. Even in the four states without formal balanced budget requirements have some sort of debt restriction and other provisions to effectively restrict their ability to run a deficit. My package of budget process reforms will bring accountability--and fiscal responsibility--back to the federal budget process.
