[quote=Anonymous]The only thing that matters now in MoCo is money. The County spends far too much of it, and the growth which allowed them to do this from 1960 to 2010 has gone negative, leaving them with only three options: Raise taxes, borrow, or cut spending. Raising taxes will discourage growth, leading to residents and businesses leaving. This is a fiscal death spiral. Borrowing only raises future taxes, causing a similar death spiral. The only option left is cuts, both to spending and regulation. For those who say this is a "Republican position," well, it would have been, say, 15 years ago. Today it's a politically homeless position as both parties have abandoned economic reality for giveaways and magical thinking. From my perspective, Friedson is the only candidate who has any hope of realizing that this argument is true. Jawando will accelerate our County's economic suicide, as will Glass (maybe to a somewhat lesser degree.)[/quote]
