In 1988, Senator Bob Dole proposed reducing federal spending by implementing a one-year freeze on government expenditures, reviewing programs to cut or eliminate expenses, and supporting a line item veto. He also favored simplifying the tax return process for small businesses, opposed government-mandated parental leave and health insurance, supported a moderate increase in the minimum wage, and advocated for fair treatment of domestic producers in trade competition. Additionally, he supported programs to encourage small business export and believed that a balanced budget would benefit small businesses.
