Probably the most asinine thing we do are these government shutdowns.

While at the same time not going down the sort of gimmicky road that sounds great in a populist way but does not actually achieve anything.

We have the fastest-growing deficit in an expanding economy in American history.

What do you think this will do to those who have decided to enter public service, who forego higher salary in the private sector, have taken on a ton of student debt, and now here you are eliminating the loan forgiveness program that they signed up for?

Yes, it is true, a budget is a statement of one's priorities.

Step one, cut taxes, mostly for the top 1 percent to the tune of $1.5 to $2 trillion.

How in the world does cutting student loans by $170 billion, and eliminating the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program in any way help families afford and pay for college?

Most normal Americans would call it a cut.

I have to say I am very skeptical of that view.

The report that they released about a week or two ago citing declines in job numbers in a number of states, including in my own Pennsylvania, obviously that report is quite concerning.

It is said that history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
