Is tying the growth of government expenditures to the consumer price index (CPI) an effective way to limit the growth of government and reduce per capita government expenditures?
Yes, by tying the increase in government spending to the CPI we insure that those we have elected to represent us and the programs necessary for a healthy community can continue and will not be harmed as the cost of living increases. We believe the Consumer Price Index is the best index of the increases in the cost of living and adequately provided for insuring that the real cost of goods and services are maintained as the value of the dollar changes over time.
