Reduce Government Spending
It is no secret that federal government spending is out of control. They view the American taxpayers as a bottomless piggybank for their wasteful programs and expansion of power. And we the people will not tolerate it any longer.
The massive debt caused by liberal policies will be passed onto our children and grandchildren if we do not stop it. They will be stuck with the tab for the government takeover of health care, industry bailouts and failed stimulus packages. They will be the ones approached with outstretched palms by the Chinese to pay back the billions upon billions we owe them. Each generation of Americans should seek to leave behind a better and more prosperous nation for the next, not saddle them with debt from reckless spending.
Though it might not be politically popular to modernize and eliminate some of our entitlement programs, responsible leaders should be willing to do it all the same. They must be prepared to make tough choices and learn to simply say “no.” This can only happen when our elected officials stop being politicians and start being leaders. Simply put: there is no “Department of Happy” in Washington, D.C.
Nothing should be off the table. Every federal agency, every government program and expenditure must be reviewed and revised with a keen eye and a red pen. Leaders should be willing to shrink budgets by target percentages, and those charged with implementing those changes must be held accountable.
And it works! I have served as an executive of several major corporations. When times were tough and money was tight, I asked our employees to cut back drastically, and explained why it was necessary, and they did. We have all had to make difficult decisions in our own household or at our work place. Serious but responsible belt tightening can save businesses, and it can also save our country with the right leadership.

Yes he has. He has proposed 10% cuts across the board and deep dives into each agency, including gutting some agencies like the EPA.
And his plan is a tax CUT. It replaces the existing tax code, bringing all the rates down. It is not “on top” of it.
Liar, liar, damnable liar.
Cain was among the first three candidates to sign the Cut, Cap & Balance pledge. Cain's 9-9-9 is revenue neutral meaning cuts *must* take place to reach balance. He supports a Balanced Budget Amendment. In prior debates he's gone so far as to say he'd raise whole departments and rebuild them as necessary, just as he's done in failed businesses, and he'd start with the EPA.
