PA budget

A band-aid means that it doesn't actually fix the problem.

So we take a little more in order to spend more than we have. And next time things get tight, what can we do? Take more? So spending always stays up, and taxes go up in a never-ending cycle. What is the logical end? If you never adjust what you are SPENDING to a realistic level.

No, we need to combine taking in more AND spending less. The only way to realistically address the debt.

Both sides need to accept that. Economics over ideology.
