Fiscal policy

The American people want a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

A balanced budget amendment is the only way to force the Federal Government, both the Congress and the executive branch, to live within its means.

Government spending must be restrained and the budget balanced.

We must pass a constitutional amendment mandating a balanced budget.

This extension is deficit-neutral year-by-year, using acceptable offsets.

And yes, we want to help people, but also we want to see that what we do is fiscally sound.

I don't like raising taxes and never will.

I'm going to fight the taxers and the spenders because it is right.

The bill would increase the Federal budget deficit by up to $110 million in FY 1990 and $630 million over five years.

During fiscal year 1981, members may be paid a variable housing allowance as permitted by Section 4(c) of the Military Personnel and Compensation Amendments of 1980; a member shall be deemed to be living in a 'high housing cost area'…

This bill is a clear example of both unwise fiscal policy and unsound water policy.

I have a deep commitment to controlling unnecessary spending and also controlling inflation.

Each bit of additional spending always looks small and unimportant against the total Federal budget.

I herewith report 30 deferrals of fiscal year 1979 funds totalling $1,178.2 million.

I believe in balanced budgets.

I'm proud of the '79 fiscal year budget and believe that in the future, we can do an even better job.

This budget places us on a path that will permit a balanced budget in the future.

We can reduce taxes if we act responsibly in restraining the growth of Federal spending.
