Greg Orman on Budget & Economy

Former Democratic Senate Challenger

 


Report federal spending by strict accounting standards

The only way we get spending under control is by making hard choices that Congress today seems unwilling to make.

We've seen our credit rating as a country downgraded because of the whole debt ceiling debate because politicians refuse to face the tough choices we need to make and play by a different set of rules. We need to require the federal government to report expenses and revenue by the same strict accounting standards now required of all major companies.
