Chino - Not exactly stated correctly. I was against the HC bill because I thought it could have been done much better. Not because I did not want a sick person to get well. That is a silly statement much like that Florida Dem made.

As with my personal account, the govt must prioritize what is important to spend the revenues on. They just dont have a blank check to keep on spending because it will hurt us all badly in time. If I act the way they do I go broke. And they should not have unlimited ability to take our hard earned money through taxes.

I also wish we had never gone into Iraq the 2nd time(although Biden says it is one of their administrations greatest accomplishments). Also I am not for Afghanistan but we are there. It is a tribal country not one with a history of a central govt so I dont see how they are going to accomplish whatever they are trying to accomplish. Not easy to get out once you are there. So I would also prefer to not be spending the money this way too.

The govt debt issue is serious and must be dealt with now or it will deal with us in much unkinder terms in the future.

Regards

Neil
