Actually - all else held equal, you can get out of debt by cutting spending as well. Kind of like two sides of the same coin I know (less government, bigger private economy), but I don't know that either can be accomplished without significant pain at this point...
My nonprofit tenant will be moving within a year.
I have issues with less government too. I worked for the State where they forced a head count no matter what amount of work we had because they wanted small government. I was a civil engineer being paid less than my private peers in a day and age where pensions and perks were gone. I became a project manager, among other things, who presided over contracts to private companies who we outsourced a large percentage of our engineering work to. These engineers were not considered employed by our State, so my managing 10-private employees meant 1-engineer. That is what my understanding of small government is. What I wish people would say is that they want efficient government or government that controls spending. Take a look at "Blackwater" sometime. It's a former military mercenary group. It's a similar concept. We can have troops on the ground without it counting as our boots on the ground. The pay grade is higher too. A smart government would ask if it would be cheaper to consult it out and if not, they should do it in house. I also think there needs to be better development of government project managers. Poorly written and bloated contracts leave subcontractors in a difficult position. Billions could be saved by eliminating unnecessary contract requirements.
EZ - PZ cut your rents down
To your point using people's Social Security monies to fund the general budget instead of investing at least a goodly portion into the American economy was a form of stupidity. Expecting the Federal government to not screw it up was expectations of the unreal.
Dream on. It is having the exact opposite effect. As far as the cold areas. You can't change the laws of physics or chemistry.
Years back before renting to nonprofit, a small locksmith wanted to rent the premise. In the last minute, that potential tenant rented next door vacant store at lower rent.
Biden wants his legacy that US in future will benefit from EVs not depending on oil from foreigners. Future generations will thank Biden's long term strategic thinking.
