We need to replace hyperbole with a reasonable, informed discussion about how to reinvent the federal budget with more transparency and better accountability.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We absolutely need to reform the Congressional budget-writing process.
We need more transparency and accountability in government so that people know how their money is being spent. That means putting budgets online, putting legislation online.
I just think we need more accountability and more transparency.
As I have traveled throughout my Congressional district, the one thing I heard loud and clear was simply please stop spending money you do not have, rein in spending, live within a budget.
Hyperbole has been part of elections since the days of John Adams, and there's nobody better than Joe Biden to give us a little hyperbole, as we all know.
True enough, the Fed needs radical reforms. In particular, it needs to replace its failed forecasting models and be rid of the academics who overwhelm the Fed system.
The reason we have such a reform budget is because we've been thinking about these things for a long time.
We need earmark reform, and when I'm President, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely.
It is time we passed a balanced budget amendment and return this government to limited spending.
The better-informed we are, the more we can do to make sure what's happening is in our interests and is accountable to us.
