Administrative Priorities

Please explain in a total of 100 words or less, your top two or three priorities if elected. If they require additional funding for implementation, please explain how you would obtain this funding.
- Eliminate the national debt and balance the budget. The national debt is currently at $22 trillion and climbing fast. That does not include the + or - 100 trillion promised to the US citizens in the form of unfunded mandates and retirement benefits. Politicians are buying votes from citizens by promising free things in exchange for their vote. They are currently delivering on their promises by charging the costs to our children and grandchildren.I am a businessman. I know how to balance a checkbook. I will bring that mindset to Washington with me.
