Great leadership only extends as far as one’s love for people, and ability to analyze and articulate fresh solutions for the challenges they face.  This blog is a window into the hopes and concerns I have, focusing mostly on Iowa, but occassionally beyond.

Directional Change

The government is aiming to cut $35 - 40 billion of spending in the new budget, agreeing that a trillion dollar deficit is the new reality.  I had a good discussion over coffee this morning about whether this plan should be characterized as “still stealing from our kids” or “finally a step in the right direction.”  We settled on “both” as the honest answer.
