I supported the PPP and other stimulus bills because the country was shut down and businesses were forced to close. People needed to pay mortgages, rent, utilities and food.
But in the last four years of both administrations we will spend close to $10 trillion.
With this ballooning debt are we all not worried about the future impact on our economy, interest rates, etc?

When we hear Congress explain how we will fund these bills, the question should be: Can you first tell me the plan to pay down the current deficit?
To be clear, I am a big supporter of smart investments in America that create jobs, improve quality of life, and generates downstream income and tax revenue. Think big. Think bold. All good.
But, no one seems to “own” the current tab. It is some other Congress’ problem or doing. Not our responsibility. Kick the can down the political road.
Congress needs to commit to a 15 year plan to square up on the debt. 4% budget cuts across the board, bump corporate taxes, bump taxes for income over $1 million, cut loopholes, tax the dog shit out of tobacco, alcohol, soda, fast food, and anything that makes us obese.
and all constituents really want the jobs and improvements it would bring...the parties would be foolish not to approve it...makes for a good bet.
spending.
addressed funding before voting...now, on to the House...
