Six Reasons To Worry About Federal Deficits
February 27, 2026
Every once in a while, (and sometimes each day) I listen to a great podcast, enjoy an article, or see a good video that I want to share with you. These are my e-links.

This week, I recommend a good book. As a page turner, John Grisham’s newest novel, The Widow, was the perfect diversion. Through a story divided between the courtroom and the home, we get to know (and like) Simon, a small town attorney. It all begins (seemingly normally) with a widow walking into a law office. All she needed was a will. But, from there, the unexpected occurs. Taking readers to a murder, a trial, and fun twists along the way, the book is a very good read.
