Any chance that we won't outspend our debt limit again in a few years if we raise it? Zip, Nope, and None!

Do we actually believe that there is any chance that we won't outspend our debt limit again in a few years if we raise it?

This is not the same as paying our bills, as the President says because when we pay our bills, debt should decrease.

This is the exact opposite of what is happening now. Now we are running up our bills with no end or hint of responsibility in sight if we write ourselves another blank check in 2 weeks and a mid-October fiasco probably coming up.

Whoever would come up with such a smoke screen idea that paying our bills is merely keeping track of the debt and not paying the debt down is a filthy liar!  Oh yeah!  That would be President Obama, and possibly the Legislature, which should call the President on his lies, as a responsibility of the checks and balances our government is supposed to work on.

Smoke screens on the economy.  Smoke screens on the governments debt.  Failure to work toward a fiscally responsible goal.  I bet the death of Osama bin Laden was a smoke screen too given all the bull our President tells us.

Where Is Endgame In Syria?

If you have been following the situation in Syria, then you probably know that whether Assad is in power or the rebels are in power, neither is an ideal situation.  In fact, sitting back and thinking, perhaps the situation now is ideal.  We have the rebels taking up Assad’s attention, such that Syria’s hands are tied. 

We don’t like Syria because they say only Muslims should rule, or at least practically all of the people of Syria.  Personally, I don’t consider Islamic rule as ideal, such that I don’t see any sort of world advantage war in Syria will gain for the USA.

I can’t say that I agree with the use of chemical weapons, but I don’t see use of chemical weapons as a line of demarcation where it becomes paramount that the U.S. gets involved.  Please Congress, send a message to the President that we do not want another war.  If it is true that the Syrian’s are willing to use them on their own people speaks volumes for how low of a nation this country is.

Strangely, this is coming at a time where we are thinking of raising the debt ceiling again.  I am wondering if there was foul play and Assad didn’t use chemical weapons, but some other party used them, so that the President and Congress can gain the patriotic momentum that they will need to raise the debt ceiling through war.  We won’t be able to go to war in Syria if we don’t raise the debt ceiling. 

Remember, this was the time that the Republicans were going to put down their foot on the issue of the debt ceiling.  But, will they put down their foot at the risk of not having another war?  The Republicans have long been the party that is more trigger happy than the Democrats.  So, will we go to war?  The answer is yes, and only because someone has played the war card in Syria, throwing House Republicans in a tizzy.  They can’t be the world policeman if they vote against raising the debt ceiling!!!

So where should the endgame be?:  The endgame should be now! 9/2/2013
