Most the Republicans caved in. 174 of them voted to raise the debt ceiling to the highest in U.S. history. Only 66 Republicans voted no. Already folks are arguing and reporting different amounts as to this horrific increase, but it starts at 2.6 trillion and jumps in other conversations to 4 trillion and even 7 trillion. The bottom line is the debt ceiling has entered a ‘fright ride’ at the ‘political theme park’, of endless increases that will continue until the financial train soars off the track and crashes in a thousand bloody pieces.The unbelievable and treacherous thing is that our country has more than enough money to pay our major bills, such as social security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans affairs, and federal wages. We just don’t have money for endless peripheral, agenda laden programs! Most Americans understand what fat and gristle looks like. Any moron knows you don’t go out to fancy dinners, off to Hawaii and redecorate your house in hard times when you are barely holding onto your job and home.
Most in the House and the Senate should be voted out for this debt increase action. Compromise would be fine if underneath it all, the core problem of out of control spending was actually dealt with. There is no way in heaven or hell that this will happen though because there is a world view clash with Obama and the progressive left, regarding fiscal responsibility and reality. Now, I must ad many Republicans to the list, shameful.
Most our Politicians define compromise in all the wrong ways. They start by compromising American, common sense moral and financial values, and morph to a contrived sense of reality. We hear talk of achieving peace by ‘supporting the President,’ avoiding contrived and cultivated crises’ and ‘building mythologies as to how to gain political points.’ This time our Politicians gained political points all right. They now have well over 100 million eyeballs shining laser lights on their soon to be very short careers.
What good is having enough money to pay our bills when most our Politicians have no interest in reflecting most American’s values and financial priorities? With the wrong people in the White House, House and Senate, we will continue to have an orgy of acting out, greed and constitutional destruction. It is time to exit nearly all of them, stage left.
