Playing the game of who will blink first with the debt ceiling is a dangerous game. We have ideologues on both sides that would rather see the country fall, than back down. We have said that our greatest enemy is Russia, or China, or North Korea, or the terrorist but ironically, what may be our greatest enemy is ourselves.
We've always been our own greatest enemies. The fact that we are even having a debt ceiling debate demonstrates we have failed as a nation. We shouldn't be anywhere close to the ceiling.
We need to fight our debt. And i think that wont happen until we all get our personal finances in order. if we do that as individuals, we will have people representing us who will likewise do that.
Our politicians do represent us as a people. The problem isnt with them as much as it is with us.
