This is a comment about the Associated Press article “Biden’s $6T budget: Social spending, taxes on business”. I don’t care if you are a Democrat, Republican, independent, conservative, liberal or whatever — the government needs to at least try to balance the budget.
I understand we have been through a lot recently. There are things we need as a country now to get us “back ” to normal. Our elected officials need to leave their egos at the door, meet, discuss and decide what is actually needed to get the country back on track. Cut the pork and pet projects and act on what is really needed and that is it. Will programs need to be trimmed back or cut? Yes. Will some get upset? Yes. But let’s be realistic. If the money is not there, you have two choices: trim back or generate more revenue. Either way, you will have people disagree with the final decision.
Make the tax laws fair for all. Have no loopholes. Look at everything objectively and be honest with each other. Cut the politics in Washington and get to work with good results that benefit all — or get another job.
