I can see your viewpoint as well and do respect that position. I however took the side of if Trump wanted to make a statement he could have shut the Government down and taken a stand now and not a “promise” to do so in the next round. My biggest objection is no one including Trump is talking about a balanced budget. Tossing the 1.1 trillion dollar can down the road as was the case here is what has now been done for the last 12 years. We have allowed this spending frenzy go on long enough. Today should be the day not tomorrow. That’s my position
There will be no balanced budget until Trump’s tax plan is adopted and trade become “fair” instead of “free”. Congress has dug the deficit hole and they are not about to fill it and reverse more than two decades of deficit spending.
