Government spending is out of control at the federal, state, and local levels, and action is needed. We urge Congress to become fiscally responsible by immediately enacting the following items:
1. Adopt zero-based budgeting.
2. Adopt a policy of requiring a private sector efficiency commission for each governmental department.
3. Oppose the use of “earmarks” as a part of the budget and spending process.
4. Prohibit Congress from passing appropriations bills unless each appropriations group is considered and passed separately. [Federal]
