Political Stances on Government Spending

“Too often, our businesses and families are held back by a federal bureaucracy that is out of control, heavy-handed, and wasteful. As President, I will reduce the federal civilian workforce by 10%!”

“You compare that to Florida, for instance in the last five years, spending has gone up 30% … Ron DeSantis had spending going up at an average of 6% a year in Florida for his first five years. Were the ones in this race who has controlled spending when we were in charge, and well do the very same thing when I become president.”

“Theres so much cutting and so much waste in so many other areas, there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting, the theft and the bad management of entitlements.”

“We just got to get back into the leadership position, show Americans the way, get inflation under control, cut the spending, and drive forward. Its all possible and its all doable, but we have to have a fresh start in Washington.”

“We should stop calling it a ‘clean debt ceiling increase.’ Passing a debt ceiling increase without any reforms to our nation’s broken finances isn’t clean. It’s dirty as hell.”

“In 1900, at all three levels of government, federal, state and local, government took less than 10 percent of the American people’s money. Now we’re talking about 35 percent, and when you add a dollar value to mandates, you’re talking almost 50 percent.”

“Joe Biden is proving that reckless spending is the road to socialism. But hes not the only culprit. Joe Biden, Donald Trump, and Barack Obama added more to our national debt than the previous 42 presidents combined. They tripled the debt from $10 trillion to $33 trillion.”

“So when I get in as president, I’m going to do like I did as governor and we’re going to be willing to wield the veto pen if they’re spending too much money.”
