@ltsisk@LDS_Dems One party says they’re going to spend (and they do). The other party *says* they won’t, but then they spend with reckless abandon anyway.
@foley2k2@paulg On deficits, Trump was horrible, EVEN PRE-COVID. Facts here, if you don’t believe it: https://t.co/uK9uy2gTKA
He pays lip service to small government. Yet even with Republicans in control of the WH and Congress, spending was still out of control (pre-Covid).

@MagLevIsMagLAME@crampell@JoeBiden Trump boldly claimed he was going to drain the swamp, which turned out to be a lie. He actually GREW the swamp
Biden makes no such grand claims.
One is trustworthy on the debt, and one isn't.
@White_Shadow81@Austen Most custom builds will have a construction loan just for construction period. Then the homeowners get a new, traditional mortgage for when the build is completed. As a result, especially for a long build, there is a lot of interest rate risk.
Too many people spend their lives being dutiful descendants instead of good ancestors.
The responsibility of each generation is not to please their predecessors. It's to improve things for their offspring.
It's more important to make your children proud than your parents proud.
@RyanTheJenks Growth = increased revenue & perceived prosperity. However, the long-term costs associated with sprawling infrastructure are often ignored. Check out @clmarohn's work over at Strong Towns: https://t.co/uXE3HBp2nl
@RyanTheJenks It can vary in the USA but the purpose is similar to the board of a company: ensuring competent management (e.g. hiring a city manager and other executives), setting objectives, strategy, overseeing budget, etc
