What the hell is Mitch McConnel thinking?! His proposal to give Obama a blank check on the debt ceiling is just about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. And it's not just Obama that I am concerned about. No president should have that much power, Democrat, Republican, or Tea Party. Those limits are in place for a reason, and we are seeing that reason right now. We are 14 TRILLION in debt!!! We have borrowed so much that we will NEVER pay it back. It's time to file for bankruptcy people. Let them default.
And don't start with the I'm young and I don't rely on Social Security BS. My mom is months from retiring. If we go broke then her retirement is shot, along with everyone elses. Here are the cold hard facts people, we have to get off the government tit. Social Security, Welfare, Medicare and Medicaid have been the Prozac of the nation for the past 75 years. It's time to wake up and get off our ass. Families need to pull together again and support our elders. Churches and communities need to support those that are in hard times like they used to do. Government needs to shrink down to handling the things they are supposed to handle and get their nose out of my food habits, religious beliefs, and LIGHT BULBS! (more on THAT later).
Those are not going to be popular statements, but doing the right thing isn't always easy and sometimes doesn't win you friends. But if you know what needs to be done, then you should have the guts to stand up and do it. I really hope the establishment is listening and bracing themselves for what is to come, because if they aren't, it's going to get ugly.
