Comments
A few comments from listeners when they were asked what the learned from the webinar:
I learned a great deal about how the government categorizes funds and moves money around into different categories to try not to show a deficit
- Michelle L.
This entire presentation was eye opening. I was fairly aware of the level of Federal and state deficits, but had never heard of her website. This is an excellent resource and she should be commended for all the work she has done."
- Frank M.
Was not aware of the Truth in Accounting or USA Facts websites so that was helpful.
- Ralph U.
