"@cschenck33 If we constrain spending growth to less than revenue growth then all of it. You just dont do it all at once. The fiscal discipline of today is amplified by the compound interest of tomorrow. But that means paying for stuff now. Including disaster aid and Ukraine help"

"On Sept 18th the Federal Reserve lowered the Fed funds rate. Since then interest rates on the bond market have gone UP not down. This is because there is too much government debt flooding the market. Until Washingtons reckless budgeting ends things are going to get worse"

"One thing is for certain: If the DFL keeps total control of Minnesota they will interpret that as a mandate to do whatever they want and pass even more crazy stuff. Minnesota voters desperately need to return checks and balances to Minnesota government"

"@wayne3165 Actually the deficit has reached the point that it is a threat to you and everyone you care about. It is a weapon of fiscal destruction that threatens your quality of life. But because there are no popular solutions weak leaders like Trump and Harris will do nothing about it"
