"Republicans in the legislature are seemingly intent on running budget deficits for the foreseeable future – knowing full well that they can’t rely on the reserves forever. At the rate they’re going, with no significant changes in policy or revenue generation, the reserves will run dry in less than five years.

And then what?"

Editorials

FOOD FOR YOUR HEAD AND MINE

By Thomas Gibbons

"Iowa's Revenue Estimating Conference has estimated revenue next year of $8.47 billion, and the governor's budget plans to spend $9.67 billion for a deficit of $1.2 billion. Republicans will certainly try to blame a new Democratic governor for the deficit within a few minutes of taking office. We can't let them."

TALES OF BEING A LARGE 'D' DEMOCRAT

By Bruce D. Beasley

"Beware a Trump Sedition or Insurrection Act with martial law declared when the only national emergency is one Trump creates himself.  It will only mean a loss of freedom for us and more power for Trump and his aggrandizing friends.  Keep your eyes and ears open and be vigilant. Our future demands it!"
