98-RMSP5 on Sep 9, 1998

Report: the Republican Main Street Partnership issue stance:
Source: Republican Main St. Partnership Issue Paper: Fiscal Policy
What we offer today are not the precise spending decisions of a given year's budget; rather, we call upon the Congress and the nation to adopt the following guidelines for our fiscal policy over the next decade. This long-term blueprint is essential for maintaining both the immediate public-sector goal of balancing the budget and the private-sector goal of a healthy economy. This can be achieved through the following steps:
  • A commitment to maintaining and enforcing existing spending caps in the future, when such discipline becomes more difficult to achieve;
  • A careful and considerate re-definition of the federal role in society (what should be the legitimate and proper role of the federal government in the twenty-first century, and how do we prioritize competing demands?); and
  • An evaluation of implementing tax cuts based on their social fairness.


  • Topic: Budget & Economy
  • Headline: Maintain & enforce existing spending caps in the future
