Do you mean the gov't budget, or our personal household budget?
Gov’t budget.
I loved what she said here:

“What we do have is the argument that the Valley is perfectly suited for those with strong work ethics, who cherish God-given freedoms and treasure natural beauty. Those who want to run and ride and fly and live the reasons we move to the Last Frontier in the first place.
We’re spoiled rotten.
Fine trade-offs for those who don’t judge communities based on appearance, or families based on size of home or girth of wallet.
It’s not about the money. It’s the people. Land availability, lower costs, and limitless business possibilities are obviously enormous draws, but so are amazingly good schools, programs, and people who invite you to kick off your shoes, come on in and cheer for the kids.”
What a refreshing change to politics as usual!
