The tea party members are the only contingent with relatively consistent principles. When Bush wanted the debt limit increased, Obama called it a major threat to national security and voted against it. So did Harry. Seems both partties change their positions with the weather.<br /><br />Looks like sequestration is the only way to get Obama to cut anything. Should put us in a mild recession, or close to it. Still, sequestration was his idea and this recession will be all his. He can't blame Bush, but our teflon president will surely blame someone.<br /><br />The best idea I've heard is to link the debt limit increase to a fixed schedule of percentage based budget cuts at the Department level. Still, I believe that mainstream Republicans are not interested in reducing government. In the long run, bigger government serves them as well, despite the words currently coming from their mouths.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321422627188917599.post-64039885356747279372013-01-16T08:07:35.924-08:002013-01-16T08:07:35.924-08:00Our family is sacrificing like crazy to pay off ou...Our family is sacrificing like crazy to pay off our mortgage as fast as we possibly can so we can live debt-free. According to the debt clock on your sidebar, I owe $52,109+ for each member of my family and if we follow President Obama, it will be around $70,000 per person when he finally leaves the White House. Why do I want to owe that much?<br /><br />Of course, that debt can be eliminated in one easy step. Move somewhere else.K T Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259428595745509790noreply@blogger.com
