duce the deficit and has historically been correlated with 
fiscal success around the world; 
Whereas studies show that when the Federal Government 
cuts taxes on American businesses and job creators, they 
are more likely to hire new workers and make invest-
ments; 
Whereas reducing Government spending and not increasing 
taxes directly improves the economy by increasing the 
confidence that business owners and investors have in the 
economy; 
Whereas the Government can help businesses and the econ-
omy succeed by focusing on supporting the private sector 
rather than imposing heavy taxes on American busi-
nesses; 
Whereas every increase in spending should be offset with a 
spending decrease; and 
Whereas defense spending is critical to the security of the 
United States and cannot be forgoed for increases in 
nondefense discretionary spending: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the debt ceiling should not be raised 
without significant fiscal and spending reforms that would 
put the United States on a path to balance the budget.
