A non-partisan citizen movement calling on Congress to commit to a balanced federal operating budget — because debt is a tax on future generations.
Read the PledgeChronic deficits weaken economic stability, inflate future taxes, and reduce national flexibility in real emergencies.
Fiscal responsibility is not a political ideology. It is a generational obligation.
This movement is driven by citizens who believe accountability should apply to government finances as well.
I commit to supporting a balanced federal operating budget over the economic cycle.
I recognize that emergencies may require temporary deficits, but that permanent deficit spending is fiscally irresponsible and unfair to future generations.
I support transparency, accountability, and bipartisan cooperation to restore long-term fiscal discipline to the United States government.
