1. Consent of the Governed

Government acts by the authority of the people. Public power must remain answerable to citizens through elections, transparency, and constitutional limitations.

2. Stewardship for Future Generations

Every generation temporarily holds the nation in trust. We have no moral right to consume its prosperity, weaken its institutions, and transfer the resulting costs to people too young to object.

3. Fiscal Responsibility

Persistent deficits and uncontrolled national debt are irresponsible and immoral.

4. Sound and Stable Money

Inflation reduces the purchasing power of wages, savings, pensions, and inheritances. Monetary policy must be examined according to its effects on future generations.

5. Government Accountability

Public officials and federal employees must be accountable for enabling waste, fraud, and abuse through deficit spending.
