Some Americans are being hurt badly by the ongoing economic crisis. Fortunately, some are not. But it is clearly on almost everyone’s mind.
What will it take to recover? When will we recover? (We always do!) What will be the effects on all of us in the meantime?
There surely will be different answers by different people in different circumstances. But there should be some “certainties.”
For one, our federal government, while it must attend to all of its constitutional responsibilities, certainly should not engage in unnecessary spending.
With continuing, annual trillion-dollar-plus deficits, this is plainly no time to “spend more” and initiate “new programs.”
