- Mike Thompson

About this Quote

This quote by Mike Thompson is referring to the current scenario in the United States where the federal budget is being handled by people with just two years of experience. This is a worrying situation as the federal budget plan is an exceptionally large sum of cash, currently estimated to be about $83 billion. Thompson is suggesting that it is unreasonable to expect people with such minimal experience to be able to manage such a big spending plan properly. He is recommending that even more knowledgeable individuals must be in charge of the budget in order to make sure that it is managed effectively. This quote highlights the relevance of having experienced individuals ready of power in order to guarantee that the budget is taken care of properly and that the money is utilized in one of the most effective means feasible.
