In our second issue, former Colorado Governor Richard Lamm launched a series of essays on the pitiful state of our Federal fiscal house. A number of our nation’s most respected fiscal policy organizations as well as many notable appointed and elected officials contributed their wise counsel. By popular demand we have collected all of these essays and present them here as part of our Prairie Fire website. We will continue to add essays on this subject as they appear in future issues of Prairie Fire.
