By now, everyone is looking forward to Election Day. I think we’re all tired of the political mudslinging that constantly airs on television and radio. In just a few days, when the election results are in, roughly half of the population will be ecstatic. And the other half won’t be.
I appreciate the voter guide put out by the League of Women Voters of Oakland Area. There are certainly many elections that won’t make national headlines, but are very important to local communities. Like many, I only have in-depth political discussion with a handful of friends. So it’s good to have access to opinions that may or not coincide with your own.
When clients gravitate toward a political discussion, I tell them not to look at me as red or blue. My goal is simply to keep them in the green. I will share that I’m fiscally conservative and one of my major financial concerns is our national debt.
I find it quite alarming that it’s now in excess of $31 trillion and growing. That’s trillion with a T, followed by 12 zeroes. I believe the national debt is a big reason why we’re now in an inflationary environment.
And it’s not just here; it’s across the globe. It appears that far too many countries are spending beyond their revenues. Currently, the USA has the cleanest dirty shirt in the laundry. But that’s just a polite way of saying that as difficult as it is here with rising prices, it’s worse in other countries.
No matter the election results, no matter who steps…
