I wanted to make sure you saw the guest editorial by Republican US Senate Candidate Dwight Grotberg in today's Fargo Forum.
Senator offers no fixes
By Dwight Grotberg
Published Sunday, September 17, 2006
Recently, my opponent, Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., expressed his fears about the federal debt and deficit. As the ranking member of the Budget Committee, as well as a senior member of the Finance Committee, I expected to see him address his concerns with ideas of how to fix them. Instead, I found his opinion piece (Forum, Aug. 29) to be a one-sided look at the economic policies of our current administration. He painted a bleak picture of our current deficit and debt and how they threaten our nation’s long-term security.
While I agree that debt is a risk, not presenting the other side of the balance sheet is far more dangerous in that we will make economic decisions that aren’t based on the whole picture. What Conrad chooses to ignore is the income side of our national economy and the story history tells of the economic policy of a nation at war.
