LEESBURG, Va., Oct. 27 (UPI) -- Elect John McCain president and the United States will have a balanced federal budget four years from now, his running mate Sarah Palin promised Monday.
"Now, you can count on John and on me to follow through on our promises because we're the only candidates in this race with a track record of reform," Palin, the governor of Alaska, told a Republican campaign rally in Leesburg, Va.
To get the faltering economy back on track, a McCain-Palin White House would impose a spending freeze on all but the "most vital functions of government," said Palin, who offered no specific details.
Palin painted Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., as a big spender who would raise taxes and further crimp the take-home pay of hard-working people.
"Senator Obama has a ideological commitment to higher taxes," Palin said as her audience shouted, "Boo. No-bama. Vote McCain; use your brain."
