Fiscal Responsibility

Due to the irresponsibility and negligence by the United States government from every administration and Congress since President Clinton balanced the federal budget, the American economy, the American consumer, foreign business interests, American businesses, and the American taxpayer have been put in the largest debt ever accumulated in history. Over $39.3 trillion. The debt has surpassed the economic worth of the country. For the first time in 2026, debt interest payments reached over $1 trillion. This now makes up the 3rd highest expense for the US after social security and Medicaid/Medicare. Negligence and gross incompetency have brought the US to this position, where $1 trillion is being spent on debt rather than being invested in healthcare, education, infrastructure and a pathway out of poverty for those on welfare. Inflation is rising, the deficit is getting out of control and as Americans continue to pay the price, their elected representatives continue to ignore their needs. If the debt continues, the US will have to default which will cripple the economy, or it will have to raise taxes and cut significant funding to welfare programs putting Americans in a vulnerable state. We advocate that Congress should adopt the Swiss model (revenue x economic factor = budget). In addition, we should expand the pay in of Social Security Taxes while lowering the tax rate to 11.3%. The United States deficit HAS to be eliminated, not lowered, eliminated and the only way to do that is to cut wasteful spending, and lower the amount that we invest in defense, homeland security, and foreign subsidies. Our spending priorities must be enough to ensure domestic safety, successful healthcare, flourishing education, and to meet our social security obligations.
