In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“The federal government is running annual deficits of $2 trillion. Interest on the debt costs $1 trillion, more than the defense department budget. We can slash the deficit without cutting a program.”

“As president of the Fairfax County Taxpayers Alliance, I've spent 29 years studying how to cut taxes. Rather than cut programs, reduce demand through better policies.”
