This coronavirus crisis is a wake-up call to remind and alarm us about the danger of our government’s reckless spending.
At a time of crisis like this, it would be really good if we had some money in the bank to fall back on when it is really needed.

When Obama was president, the Republicans constantly criticized him (and rightfully so) for too much spending, even though the House of Representatives was controlled by the Republicans, and that is where all federal spending is supposed to originate. Then the Republicans got total control and did not keep their promise to cut spending, but spent even more.
