My number one priority is to see a path towards a balanced budget. As a businessman, family man and citizen I can't stand politicians who put there heads in the sand when it comes to the budget. Governor Christie of New Jersey is popular because he confronts it head on. Democrat or Republican who don't want to grapple with this monster don't deserve our ear or respect.
We have known for decades that we were on an untenable path of over committing and underfunding. The G. W. Bush administration was the coup grace. It took easiest path in every situation; tax cuts, rolled over on every increased expenditure proposed by Congress, engaged in war at will and that caused an economic malaise we are not getting out of for a decade. LBJ all the way. He was from Texas, too.
