Why are these cities wasting money in such an absurd way?

The correct way to change political incentives.

They’re missing this key policy.

They’ve let the private sector grow faster than government.

We need entitlement reform.

Doing this would be a huge mistake.

Quantify bipartisan profligacy.

This is a recipe for economic stagnation.

Unfortunately, the panic over big cuts is unfounded.
