BillW, one can like the ideas but simultaneously recognize that the Federal government isn’t paying for all the ideas it has already had.  It is borrowing money to carry out its current ideas.  New ideas are of little value unless they are ideas about how to balance the budget.  The ideas I have heard from both mainstream parties have nothing to do with balancing the budget.

 

Have you any ideas on balancing the budget?  Do share please.
