There is a very important piece of paper floating around the hall of Congress these days, It is called the Cut , Cap and Balance Pledge.
The name alone would would have me signing it !
The brainchild of the Republican Study Committee, has been gaining lots of support in recent days as another litmus test for Republican candidates. It calls for immediate spending cuts to reduce the deficit by half next year. It would also impose enforceable caps that bring spending in line with average revenues at 18 percent of the GDP. It would require House and Senate passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. GOP contender Jon Huntsman is the only other candidate not to sign it.
Some believe the pledge eases the tension that the debt ceiling gridlock is presently paralyzing Congress. But Bachmann wants more out of the pledge, by defunding President Obama's Affordable Healthcare Act. She says she's "mulling over" signing the pledge.
This pledge, if instituted would be nothing short of historical.
If a GOP candidate wants the White House, they must sign this pledge.
C'mon Michelle, sign it !
Yours in Liberty !
Bob Yeager
