The same holds true for improving our nation's economy, the government has to know when not to spend hard-earned tax dollars.
Restraint is a key to victory.
Last week the United States Congress, by passing the Republican-crafted budget resolution, demonstrated the kind of fiscal restraint and courage needed to ensure that our country continues on the road to economic prosperity for all Americans. This brave plan sets out a fiscal road-map for the federal government to follow that will help stimulate the nation's economy as a whole, ensure retirement security for generations to come, provide the resources necessary to give America's children with the quality education they deserve and furnishes the assets to provide our nation's brave men and women in the armed services with the equipment and training they need to ensure our security. In addition, this budgetary road-map allows for needed tax relief for working Americans while paying down our nation's debt and without spending a dime of the budget surplus. All of this has been accomplished by sticking to the strict spending limits outlined in the bipartisan Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Congress recognized the fact that money left in Washington will be spent.
