The picture Yarrow paints should concern all Americans. Specifically, he brings to light how rising Medicare, Social Security, and other spending on one hand, and insufficient government revenues on the other, make a mockery of fiscal responsibility. Deficits and debt, Yarrow asserts, are crowding out spending on needed investments in science, environment, infrastructure, and other domestic discretionary programs and could severely harm our nation's and our citizens' future. But he makes clear that this does not have to be a doomsday scenario. If we act in a bipartisan fashion to restore fiscal health, our legacy to the next generation can be much more than trillions of dollars of IOUs. 606 $aDebts, Public$zUnited States 606 $aBudget deficits$zUnited States 606 $aFiscal policy$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDebts, Public 615 0$aBudget deficits 615 0$aFiscal policy 676 $a336.3/40973 700 $aYarrow$b Andrew L$0950168 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455088703321 996 $aForgive us our debts$92454935 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01520nam 2200349 n 450 001 996384591003316 005 20201218184333.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000067981 035 $a(EEBO)2240889788 035 $a(UnM)99857587e 035 $a(UnM)99857587 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000067981 100 $a19930106d1550 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn#|||a|bb| 200 04$aThe piththy [sic] and moost notable sayinges of al scripture, gathered by Thomas Paynell: after the manner of common places, very necessary for al those that delite in the consolacions of the scriptures$b[electronic resource] 210 $a[Imprinted at London $cAt Flietbridge by Thomas Gaultier, at the costes [and] charges of Rychard Kele dwelling in the Poultrye]$d1550 215 $a[2], xxxvii, [11], lxxiiii, [11] leaves 300 $aPlace of publication and printer's name from colophon. 300 $aLeaf lxxxvii misnumbered xxxvii. 300 $aOne of 3 imprint variants. 300 $aReproduction of the original in the Bodleian Library. 330 $aeebo-0014 700 $aPaynell$b Thomas$factive 1528-1567.$01001931 801 0$bCu-RivES 801 1$bCu-RivES 801 2$bCStRLIN 801 2$bWaOLN 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996384591003316 996 $aThe piththy and moost notable sayinges of al scripture, gathered by Thomas Paynell: after the manner of common places, very necessary for al those that delite in the consolacions of the scriptures$92384197 997 $aUNISA
