Gosh, you mean obunghole lied again?
I can’t believe that. Just too incredible.
I hosted a dinner class a couple of years ago for my clients, most of whom are doctors, on budgeting and finance and how to read, understand and use a financial statement. Sent an invite to Cornyn and Olson to join us. Didn’t even receive an acknowledgement from them, although did have a couple of local politicians and their wives join us. Interesting evening. Just amazed that so many of them had lived all these years without having a budget. Absolutely none of them had ever involved their children in the family budget process but all readily acknowledged that doing so would help them prepare for adulthood.
For a while after that I was bombarded with questions about their monthly financial reports but they have stopped asking and are generally back to their old habits. Seems difficult for some people to make a lifelong commitment to the financial part of their life.
Think you answered your own query: One ‘rich’ enough to hire an accountant more than likely doesn’t care about the week > month > year >...Just the number at the tally line on the ledger.
I presume, same for politicians. They get their little line-item and don’t care about all the OTHER line-items from the other 500+.
IMO, the way to break that cycle: ‘Bill’ each State for their 1/50th portion of the budget.
When a few States start seeing the flow OUT is greater than that IN, vs. their neighbors, they’ll start to notice. If not, their Citizens surely will when THEIR taxes come due (or the sales taxes increased/etc.) that the State has to come up with.
