WorldNetDaily: on Budget & Economy


Ben Carson: Release the economic engine; regulations fetter it down

We have to be fiscally responsible and simultaneously release the most powerful economic engine the world has ever known, rather than fettering it down with all kinds of regulations and requirements. We have the highest corporate tax rates in the developed world. So why are we surprised when companies want to go overseas? People do not go into business to support the government, they go into business to make money. A wise government creates an environment that is conducive to business, so that we draw businesses in instead of pushing them away. One of the things that led to the explosion of economic activity that took America in 1776 to the pinnacle of the economic world in less than 100 years was the fact that we had an environment conducive to innovation, hard work and entrepreneurship.

Harry Browne: Neither Dems nor Reps “reign in spending”

The last four budgets passed by a Democratic Congress enlarged the federal government by 14.4%. The four budgets the Republican Congress passed have enlarged the federal government by 13.9%. This could hardly be called “reigning in spending.” In fact, the first three Republican budgets increased spending faster than the Democratic budgets.
