In principle, we are in agreement as far as managing the economy goes, how is where we may/will defer.

Ramping up domestic production: Shouldn't that be happening especially oil well over $50/barrel? And if its not happening, why.

Stop spending money? After TFG handed out tax breaks while screwing some of us in the left coast by capping interest & real estate tax deductions. Screwing people like me who has owned a second home for years.

Now when you say "stop spending money we don't have", is this code to stop helping Ukraine as I suspect, because we have been spending money we don't have continuously since around 2000 if I am not mistaken. So why the sudden urge for fiscal prudence?
