Rick Perry would cut members’ pay and office budgets in half.
Mr. Perry also said he would end lifetime federal appointments to the bench — capping the term of service at 18 years for Supreme Court justices. He also vowed to end bailouts of banks and funding for Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leading provider of abortions. Tax increases, he said, should require a two-thirds majority vote in Congress, while the salaries of federal workforce — except military and law-enforcement employees — should be frozen.
