[The Wielding Truth]

during a time when it is fighting in 3 wars, struggling with economic depression and unusually high unemployment.

We need desperately to raise revenue. We should be selling bonds investing in projects that will pump money into the hands of those who will support local businesses. In turn those businesses will hire and the wages of employees will restore our economy.

Am I one of the only ones to see that a balanced budget is foolish at least and at most, harmful?
