The current battle in Washington over the debt ceiling is ridiculous. It is not about if we should raise the debt ceiling, it’s about how, with what sort of attending deals. Hello? You are spending money you don’t have already, and in actuality pissing most of it away on things that do little to benefit the people you are stealing it from in the first place. Somebody decided to place a ceiling, a limit, on what you spend, that already allows you to spend above income. And you want the legal authority to spend even more?
What is really ridiculous is the spin the mainstream media are playing against this. All the horrors and apocalyptic warnings. Imagine all the bad things that will happen if we don’t allow these yahoos to continue their insanity. Just look at the evidence. What has all the military spending post 9/11 bought us. Freedom? Please. What about Obama’s economic recovery spending? Prosperity? Jobs? Economic Security? And how about all the corporate welfare the Republicans refuse to cave on? More prosperity, jobs, etc..?
