Welcome to matter of fact. Deficit hawk is a political term you dont hear a lot these days. Its political slang for people particularly politicians who want to cut our deficit and our debt. Between the money the rn kes and the money it spends. If the government spends more than it collects, then its running a deficit. The federal debt is the running total of the accumulated deficits.

On day one of my presidency, we will use our executive orders to undo all of the racist and xenophobic executive
I appreciate the limitations of what you can provide, and, there is a long way to go. I am concerned about those with disabilities who cannot meet the criteria.

We try to communicate smoothly with them. Another factor is, as you know, disabilities are very wide ranging and our shelters are basically congregate settings. There are people who cannot handle a congregate setting. There we
