THE DEBT CEILINGThat last line is one that I use often with my apolitical friends. On this issue, as with so many others, the challenge for voters is that there is no realistic choice for a candidate who actually is committed to solving the problem. On this particular issue, the only real solution is to reduce government spending, as only when deficit spending is stopped can we hope to reduce the total debt. The Democrats and Republicans are both totally committed to bigger and bigger government – they know that government largesse is where the votes to elect (and re-elect) them actually come from. So real change is almost impossible to achieve.
Democrats don't understand THE DEBT CEILING.
Republicans don't understand THE DEBT CEILING.
Liberals don't understand THE DEBT CEILING.
NO ONE understands THE DEBT CEILING.
SO - Allow me to explain...
Let's say you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood. Your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings. What do you think you should do? Raise the ceilings, or pump out the shit?
Your choice is coming in November. Don't miss the opportunity!
The Tea Party candidates gave me some hope in that regard, but they don't seem to be making much progress. Certainly they have nothing even remotely resembling a majority.
This week's UKIP victory in the U.K. gives me some hope – hope that something similar might happen here if the existing situation gets any worse.
ObamaCare gives me some hope – it just might be the rallying cry that gets voters thinking a little more rationally.
But I'm probably just dreaming...
