  7. GOVERNMENT SPENDING IS SURGING -- Did you know that during the eight years of the New Deal from 1933-1940, federal spending averaged 9.4% of GDP, but in the four most recent fiscal years, federal spending has averaged 24.1% of GDP? Let's balance our budget!

  13. WELFARE NOW THE LARGEST FEDERAL EXPENSE -- Combined state & federal spending on 83 different welfare programs topped $1 trillion in FY 2011.

    We need to cut through the red tape, make our tax code simpler, flatter, and fairer, & tear down barriers to energy production. We must grow the economy - not the government - so everyone has the opportunity to be successful, happy, and independent.
  14. LET'S CUT OUR SPENDING NOW -- Government spending must be cut because it's unfair & immoral to pass this debt to our kids. RSC member Congressman Tim Huelskamp (KS-1) predicts we're just a few months away from hitting our debt limit. Isn't it time we balanced our budget?
