SECURE OUR ECONOMIC FUTURE

Our nation’s runaway national debt, struggling economy, and overbearing tax system represents a major threat to America’s future prosperity – and our national security as a result.

Washington’s irresponsible budgeting and economic overregulation holds back American growth, which is the basis for our ability to protect our national interests and support a world-class military.

Tell Washington politicians to get spending under control, unleash the American economy, and safeguard our financial future so our next generation can enjoy the safety and prosperity of a thriving American economy.

The Threat The Solutions Take Action

As warfighters, we know the world can be dangerous. But one of our most significant security threats is right here at home: irresponsible policy from Washington that weakens our economy and erodes our military strength.

At more than $36 trillion dollars and counting, the national debt has ballooned out of control. After decades of reckless spending, our debt is now as large compared to the size of our economy as it was during the height of World War II. This unsustainable trajectory in peacetime directly undermines our national security by slowing our long-term growth and making it more difficult to respond to crises.

Meanwhile, burdensome regulatory and tax policies drag down our economy and make it harder for the American people to make ends meet, making the American Dream unattainable.

Our generation must protect prosperity by tackling reckless spending and burdensome economic policies. Here’s why:

  • Lower taxes, responsible spending, and pro-growth policies help Americans thrive and energize the economy.

  • A strong economy and responsible budgeting support resourcing and sustaining our second-to-none armed forces.

  • Therefore, risks to our economic health are risks to our military strength, our national interests, and security.

The threat of excessive debt is not new. But we need principled leaders to listen to the warnings and take action to protect our prosperity.

Veterans and members of Congress alike swore an oath to defend the United States against all threats. It is time we address this self-imposed vulnerability.

The Solutions

Fortunately, there are smart and responsible reforms lawmakers in Washington can enact to start reducing our unsustainable national debt, lifting the burden on the everyday American innovators growing our economy, and getting runaway “tax-and-spend” policies under control.

National Policies:

  • Defend tax cuts for everyday Americans to ensure a vibrant economy.

  • Eliminate undue regulatory burdens on American companies as they compete with China.

  • Develop America’s energy potential to ensure even greater security at home.

  • Balance the federal budget to ensure we have the resources to arm and equip our warfighters.

  • Address the ballooning federal debt, on which payments are on course to eclipse defense spending in the next several years.

Defense:

  • Reach sustainable spending through smarter strategy: Draw down our military footprint in areas where we have few vital national interests.

  • Right-size the defense budget based on long-term strategic requirements.

  • Ensure wealthy allied nations are spending enough on their own defense.

  • Make the DOD audit matter by penalizing agencies that fail to pass.

  • Clearly define emergency war funding to prevent its misuse for other activities.

Veterans Affairs:

  • Ensure spending is driven by veterans’ needs.

  • Pursue an external audit of the VA.

  • Evaluate programs for effectiveness to ensure they actually help veterans.

  • Review assets, facilities, and personnel to ensure they are making good use of resources.

  • Harness innovation to reduce health care costs while improving service.
