I curious to know this because despite COVID 19 federal spending must still be curbed and fiscally responsible.
There is no plan from the Democrats . There is no plan from any quarter. We may have to sell off Yellowstone to get close to balancing the books.
The current Republicans are not fiscally responsible. The last president to balance the budget was Bill Clinton, every since then the deficit has increased and not president, not even Bush or Obama, has balanced the budget.
We want more government than we're willing to pay for. Its amazing that 1/2 the country accepts that the prices of cars rise, the prices of food rise, the prices of Big Mac's rise. But somehow they can't wrap their red state heads around the fact that the Government is as much a slave to the markets as they are when it comes to rising costs of everything from super glue to super hornets. We need a tax increase; across the board. We're all responsible so we all should have some skin in the game. Politically it's a non starter so we're never going to get it.
