State of Idaho secondary Archives: on Budget & Economy


Ammon Bundy: Against state licensing, let people freely trade

I do not believe in state licensing because it only empowers the state agencies and not the people. It does not protect us, it does not make things better for us and it destroys the balance of a free market. Each person has a right to freely trade with each other without needing permission from the government.

Ed Humphreys: Idaho has a hidden but massive spending problem

The real problem is the adoption of socialism in Idaho and across America. Socialist policies like economic planning and wealth redistribution now rule the day. With each new rule, law, and mandate; you have less say in how you run your life and more to pay in taxes. Taxes for reasonable services is one thing, but in Idaho we have little to show for it. One thing is certain, the state of Idaho has a hidden but massive spending problem.

Janice McGeachin: Ready to wean ourselves off the federal teat

We must get our financial house in order. Our country is nearly $30 trillion in debt, inflation is rising quickly, and the position of the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency is at risk. We can't solve all of our nation's financial woes here in Idaho, but we must do our part to get our fiscal house in order, even if it means weaning ourselves off the federal teet [sic].
