My new op-ed at The Hill discusses the disastrous rise in federal government debt as profligacy dominates both parties in Washington.

In his State of the Union address, President Trump proposed new spending on infrastructure, health research, border security, and paid family leave.

Former Starbucks head Howard Schultz announced that he may run for president as a fiscally responsible independent.
