Our children deserve to inherit prosperity, not debt.

The root of our current economic crisis is over-spending. Politicians have spent beyond Americans' means; they have subsidized private citizens and companies to do the same. Over the last years and decades, as personal and public savings rates plummeted, we lived it up: buying, borrowing and gambling our future away.

The spending spree has now caught up to us and our nation faces tough economic times. The party is over and the hangover is fierce. But rather than aspirin and a shower, politicians have prescribed whiskey -- and strong whiskey at that. In just a few months, they have managed to spend more than $3 trillion of your dollars. With nothing to show for it, they now want more.

It is easy to spend today and to borrow from the future. It takes strength—even courage—to make the tough choices and to say that the spending spree must stop. If you are one of the millions of Americans who believes that our children deserve to inherit prosperity and not debt, then join us.
