Without raising taxes Mitt Romney closed a $3 billion budget deficit his first year in office with a Massachusetts heavily Democrat legislature. Each year, Mitt Romney filed a balanced budget without raising taxes. By eliminating waste, streamlining government, and enacting comprehensive economic reforms to help spur growth, Governor Romney helped the state achieve a surplus totaling nearly $1 billion in 2005.

He has a record of being fiscally responsible.  He has shown he can do this even with a liberal legislature.  He got a bill on his desk that was a 250 million dollar tax increase.  He went to the legislature and said that he would send a notice to the entire state indicating how much of a tax increase they would have had if he chose not to veto it.  He also said he would make who was responsible for passing it know to the whole state if they did not accept his amendment to the bill.  His amendment was a 250 million dollar tax refund.  They immediately passed the refund and Mitt Romney signed the 250 million dollar tax refund into law.  He pledges the same dedication to spending in the federal government.  America needs Mitt Romney.
