The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, the public debt should be reduced and the arrogance of public officials should be controlled.

You balance the budget by restraining the growth of government and encouraging the growth of the private sector.
What's really important to me is that we have fiscally responsible balanced budgets.
A budget should reflect the values and priorities of our nation and its people.
I would submit a balanced budget if elected president, and it would be painful.
I think to balance the budget, probably every federal department has to take cuts in my opinion.
You want to balance the budget in this country? We change the salary structure for Congress and the President. Every year they don't balance the budget, we don't pay them.
Our priority must be to build a path towards balancing the budget, and we cannot tolerate growing deficits.
The biggest source of getting the country to a balanced budget is not by raising taxes or by cutting spending. It's by encouraging the growth of the economy.
Restore, without delay, the equilibrium between revenue and expenditures, which has done so much to destroy our credit and derange the whole fabric of government. If that should not be done, the government and country will be involved, ere long, in overwhelming difficulties.
There is no real justification for a requirement that a budget of any sort should be balanced, except as a rallying point for those who seek to hamstring government.
