Issue Position: Fiscal Discipline

Issue Position

As a people and a Nation we have become accustomed to living beyond our means. If we don't have it, we shouldn't borrow it. Deficit spending is little better than stealing from our children. On the whole, Utah has managed its finances wisely in tough economic times by cutting spending first, looking to its rainy day fund second, and looking at raising revenue as a last resort. That fiscal discipline has left the state poised for a sustained economic recovery and set the standard for other states to follow.
