Fiscal Accountability Over Political Promises
The primary focus should be on addressing the federal debt and deficit, as the current trajectory of increasing federal debt is alarming. The proposed budget for the next year by the Biden administration is over seven trillion dollars, making it crucial to prioritize fiscal accountability over other topics. Candidates need to emphasize balancing the budget and cutting spending, despite the challenge of winning elections solely on this platform. The looming issue of inflation due to continuous money printing underscores the urgent need to manage fiscal affairs properly. The mismanagement of funds is a fundamental problem transcending party lines, necessitating a shift towards responsible fiscal actions to avoid future financial crises.
