| Fiscal Policy, a General Statement |
Biden: My dad had an expression, ‘show me your budget, and I’ll show you what you value.’ We need to end the War in Iraq that costs more than $100 billion a year, and end $85 billion a year in tax breaks for the wealthiest among us, and start valuing the middle class who built this country.

| Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) Rule for Tax Cuts or New Spending |
Biden: Joe Biden grew up in a middle-class nieghborhood and learned that if something is really important, you have to find a way to pay for it. That’s why he wants the government to adopt a Pay-As-You-Go budget. If you want to spend money in one area, you have to pay for it by reducing spending elsewhere or rasing new revenue. It just makes sense.
