In a 51-page report titled Primary Numbers: The GOP Candidates and the National Debt (http://crfb.org/document/primary-numbers-gop-candidates-and-national-debt), the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (http://crfb.org/) puts the budget plans of the four GOP Presidential candidates through a detailed review. The results show that only one candidate has a budget plan that will halt the growth of the national debt over the next nine years. That candidate? Ron Paul.

Only one candidate reverses the deficit curve over the next decade. (CRFB graphic)
The plans of Gingrich, Santorum and Romney are similar to a large degree. They all propose big spending cuts, lower taxes, and major changes in Social Security and Medicare. Only Ron Paul proposes a plan that would reduce the national debt over time and protect those currently enrolled in Social Security and Medicare, while giving younger workers the ability to opt out of those plans.
{Details from reports by Christian Science Monitor & CNN-Money}
In the fourteen years that the National Taxpayer's Union (http://www.ntu.org/) has been grading Congress, Ron Paul has received an "A" every year. His scores (http://www.ntu.org/on-capitol-hill/ntu-rates-congress/members/house/ron-paul.html) have ranged from 84% to 96%. Information on their scoring process is available here (http://www.ntu.org/on-capitol-hill/ntu-rates-congress/).
{Quote from Andrew Moylan, Vice President of Government Affairs for the National Taxpayers Union}
The message is clear. If fiscal responsibility in government is your number one issue, Ron Paul is your number one man.
Who'll Slash the National Debt? Only one Presidential Candidate.
