Ames, IA—Today presidential hopeful Rep. Ron Paul signed grassroots organization Strong America Now’s pledge. He is the latest of five candidates who, by signing the pledge, have promised to tackle the debt and deficit by applying a waste-elimination process to the federal government.
Strong America Now’s plan calls for every department, agency, and program in the federal government to go through the waste elimination process known as Lean Six Sigma. Mike George, the founder of Strong America Now, is the pioneer of Lean Six Sigma and has seen it reduce costs by at least 25 percent in every process in which it is applied.
“By signing the pledge, Congressman Paul and the other presidential pledge signers are saying that they take our national debt very seriously,” said George. “They see that the Strong America Now plan can work, and they want to be a part of it.”
