Two members of First Budget’s Iowa cabinet are calling on voters to engage presidential candidates on how to put the nation on a sustainable fiscal course.
Jeff Angelo, a former Republican state senator from Ames, and Jeff Danielson, current Democratic state senator from Waterloo, write in the Ames Tribune that the next president will face a daunting fiscal outlook.
“Given the stakes, it is vital that the next president use his or her first budget to take action to address the debt,” write Angelo and Danielson. “As debates for both parties continue into the fall, we need to remind candidates that Americans deserve a serious debate about the challenges our nation faces.”
First Budget is a joint nonpartisan initiative by The Concord Coalition and Fix the Debt to raise awareness of the dangers posed by the nation’s unsustainable budget policies and to make addressing this problem a high priority for the 2016 presidential candidates.
