Question: Given the current economic climate, what are your priorities for the budget surplus and why?

Answer: The federal debt is $5.7 trillion. Big government debt. Up during Reagan and Bush. Up higher with President Clinton. Still climbing. There is NO budget surplus. No big pile of money to hand out.

Thirty-eight-year Senator Ted Kennedy and other professional politicians are squandering our Social Security payments. Over $100 billion a year. Ripping off 20-year-olds, 30-somethings, and baby boomers.

Carla Howell, the first woman US senator from Massachusetts, will act to make the federal government so small it doesn't need an income tax. Small government is beautiful. Libertarian US Senator Carla Howell votes small government. Every issue. Every time. No exceptions. No excuses. Taxes so low you can pay them out of pocket change. Tiny tariffs and excise taxes.

Carla Howell said, "Government surplus = stealing money from Social Security. Social Security 'surplus' = overtaxing working Americans."

Carla Howell will vote to make the federal government so small it doesn't need an income tax. End income taxes forever: a $900 billion dollar a year tax cut.

If you're an average working American, the income tax is costing you over $10,000 every year. What would you do with $10,000 more each year? Save it? Invest it? Give it to your favorite cause or charity? Small government makes that possible.

Today's federal budget is $1.9 trillion. Ted Kennedy votes Big Government. Carla Howell will go to Washington with an ERASER. Small government is beautiful.
