From The Wall Street Journal:
Congress is currently embroiled in a funding fight over how much to spend on less than one-fifth of the federal budget for the next six months.

"Our budget cuts $6.2 trillion in spending from the president's budget over the next 10 years and puts the nation on track to pay off our national debt.."

Key to this entire debacle is at 1:17 of the video -- "we will cut spending." That is the explicit and singular cause of our fiscal problems ... period.

The solution is simple, cut spending -- cut all spending. The gov't is not getting anymore tax $ from me until they do, I guarantee it!

I applaud Rep. Paul Ryan for recognizing the looming financial crisis that faces our nation and for the creative and bold thinking that he brings to the debate. He is setting the right tone for finally getting spending and entitlements under control. Anyone who has read my book knows that we are on the same page. ~Mitt Romney
