  • At the fourth Republican primary debate on November 10, 2015, Carly Fiorina said that she supports moving the federal government to zero-based budgeting, a method popular in the private sector in which all expenses must be justified for each new period. Zero-based budgeting starts from a "zero base" and every function within an organization is analyzed for its needs and costs. She said "We need to go to zero-based budgeting so we know where every dollar is being spent, we can challenge any dollar, cut any dollar, move any dollar."[2] [3]
  • During a 2010 debate, Fiorina proposed instituting "a spending cap" and returning "spending, as a beginning, to 2008 levels." She also said she "would call on the federal government to freeze pay. I would call on the federal government as well to only hire one person for every two that leave government service." In addition, she proposed giving "every American the possibility of designating up to 10 percent of their federal tax dollars towards paying down the debt. If every single American designated 10 percent of their tax dollars, we could reduce the deficit by $95 billion a year."[4]
  • During a 2010 debate, Fiorina said she would not cut funding for national security.[4]
  • According to her 2010 Senate campaign website, "Carly believes the federal government must start with obvious reforms: abolishing earmarks, forcing honest accounting, taking the power to cook the books away from politicians, and limiting federal salaries and benefits. These first steps can go a long way in eliminating some of the billions of dollars of waste and bloat that sits in our federal budget."[5]
