My top 5 + 1:
1. Champion a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.
2. A codified budget surplus plan for $440 billion per year for the express purpose of eliminating the national debt in 50 years ($22 trillion is going to take a long time to eliminate.)
3. Flat tax rate across the board for everyone, and a flat business tax rate. No mysteries and no loopholes. We should all be able to do our taxes with a calculator. Millionaires and billionaires [i]will[/i] pay more, because they make more. There will no longer be individuals and businesses that get away with paying $0.
4. [i]All[/i] projects, proposals, and initiatives must have clear cost projections as well as budget-neutral methods of funding them.
5. Address the crumbling infrastructure, but this has to be done in a way that is budget-neutral given objectives 1 and 2.
6. Fortify our commitment to NATO and rebuild our relationships with our allies that have been damaged the last few years.

You’d be one of the few votes I’d get. My campaign would be about boring old fiscal responsibility while others are chucking out racially-charged hyperbole and general fear-mongering, which seems to be the winning strategy in this era. @DearAmbellina2113
