| Fiscal Policy, a General Statement |
The deficit and debt are the most damaging of all factors to the economy.
The tremendous growth of government under the Bush II administration should alarm all Americans due to the massive forced government borrowing. This diverts funds that otherwise would be available to our entrepreneurs and businesses.
Without access to these resources new businesses can not be established, and existing businesses are unable to expand and modernize their operations which translates to no new jobs and the loss of existing jobs. The deficit must be brought under control in the next few years if the U.S. is to remain a great nation.

| Federal Budget & Debt |
The Libertarian Party is the only political party that has a plan to eliminate the deficit and debt over a reasonably short period of time. The democrat and republican parties both continually enlarge the federal government and increase its powers. The democrats by increasing taxes now and spending, spending, spending while the republicans increase spending by borrowing, borrowing, borrowing, the net effect of which is reducing the value of the dollar via inflation. In reality this is also stealing, stealing, stealing from future generations of Americans that are not even born yet. Talk about taxation without representation!
In fact, the Libertarian program can accomplish these goals with tax decreases, and eliminate the personal income tax altogether by greatly reducing the size and number of federal agencies outright and through the implementation of "sunset laws", such as those that have already been enacted by many states.
In effect, all federal agencies, except the few that are expressly authorized by the Constitution, would automatically expire after some specified term of years. This would force all of these agencies to justify their budget and existence at regular intervals, and so would greatly facilitate the downsizing and elimination of unneeded bureaucracy while fully funding those few agencies which are truly essential to ensuring the American way of life.
The burden of the national debt on the citizens of this nation, and their children and grandchildren, is simply scandalous.
To eliminate the debt we must first deal with the deficit in the manner I have previously outlined. In addition, we should sell off some of the huge tracts of public land in the western states that the federal government has no legitimate need for and apply these revenues to paying off the national debt, and to fully fund and privatize Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
