Alright...I am getting really sick of all the doomsday talk about the "end of life as we know it" on Aug. 2. Will good things happen if the debt ceiling isn't raised?...maybe not. Will it be catastrophic?...probably not. As is always the case, the truth is somewhere in the middle. It will not be the end of the world, but it will be tough. I would rather have a little difficulty now than catastrophe later if the ceiling gets raised and the left gets to keep spending the way it does. It is not sustainable!
I am tired of their fear-mongering. Despite what they want you to think, America will not go suddenly bankrupt on Aug. 2. There is still revenue coming in! The time has finally come for the government to start treating their finances like every household in this nation.
If you get into financial trouble what do you do? Do you just keep recklessly spending? No. You become more responsible with your spending. You don't open new credit cards or buy unnecessary things. You start to cut back and make tough decisions between what you really need and what you can live without.
Its time the government started making such decisions. I'm pretty sure there are some government programs that can go without funding for a little while. They will still have enough money to pay social security and public assistance so that no one goes hungry or cold. The insistence that seniors and people of welfare won't get their checks is just bullying through fear.
Why should the government be exempt from the same fiscal responsibility as every family in this country? Why do they get a free pass to spend when they are in so much debt?
