How come no GOP presidential contender ever offers one simple pledge...

[Remodeling Maidiac]

"I pledge to you that any budget that crosses my desk that is not balanced will be instantly vetoed."

Put your money where your mouth is.

Probably because all of them have tax plans that add greatly to deficits.

 

[TexM3]

Because, and I think you already know this, none of them are fiscal conservatives.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Because they can't get the military spending they want without raising taxes.

 

[NYcarbineer]

I wonder why no one ever asks them if as president they will refuse to raise the debt ceiling.

Please post the link where Hillary and Bernie took this pledge of yours. LOL!!

borrowing from SS isn't balancing a budget, so no balanced budgets.

As much as I'd love to see a BBA, we're nowhere near being able to do that at this point.

Just tell them what you want. They will promise you anything. They won't do it, but they will promise anyway. The last bunch you elected are laughing at you because you believed their promises.

If it's that important to you, you should withhold your vote until someone is moronic enough to make that pledge.

Then, you'll want them to cut taxes, invest deeply in the military with both arms tied behind their back. You'll end up with another George H.W. Bush empty though calculated promise.

Still waiting on the link where Hillary and Bernie made the pledge.

RW's gladly sign a pledge NOT to raise taxes ... so there's another reason a balanced budget will never exist.

Promise that you will keep your mouth closed and pinch your nose with your thumb and forefinger until they do.

Neither one of those candidates are running as fiscal conservatives, so why the hell would anyone expect them to take that pledge?

So the OP is setting a double standard?

I don't. I fully expect them to bankrupt the nation.

Why would you expect Democrats to agree with something they fundamentally oppose? On the other hand it's the GOP who pretends to be the party of fiscal responsibility. Time for them to own up to it.

no, you are. The op clearly singled out RW's.
