Tackling the Budget Deficit

This morning on Money for Breakfast we talked about the record breaking budget deficit predictions for next year with former Governor Jesse Ventura, Ron Haskins of Brookings and Jordan Goodman, author of Fast Profits in Hard Times.

Between the three, they universally agreed that fighting this budget deficit is a monumental task and talk of any additional stimulus package is unrealistic. Jesse, who is not afraid to let his thoughts be known, feels that the mounting deficit of $10-$12 billion a month to fight the war on Iraq and provide international aid to others when our country is hurting is the first thing that needs to be fixed. Look at what Jesse, Ron and Jordan had to say about how to fix the problem.
