羅姆尼任馬薩諸塞州州長時平衡每年的州預算。
In a statement, Romney spokesman Ryan Williams said the former Massachusetts governor added “tens of thousands of new jobs,” lowered the state’s unemployment rate, and balanced the state budget every year without borrowing or raising taxes.
“His sound management and fiscally responsible leadership resulted in a state credit rating upgrade and economic prosperity in the Commonwealth that has not been seen since he left office,” he said.
As governor, Romney presided over a series of spending cuts and increases in fees that eliminated an up to $1.5 billion deficit.
Romney stated that Massachusetts finished fiscal 2004 with a $700 million surplus.[20] Official state figures said that fiscal 2005 finished with a $594.4 million surplus.[3][21] For fiscal 2006, the surplus was $720.9 million according to official figures.[21] The state's "rainy day fund", more formally known as the Stabilization Fund, was replenished through government consolidation and reform. At the close of fiscal year 2006, the fund enjoyed a $2.155 billion balance.[21]
