As Americans continue, day-after-day, earning the waning dollar, their leaders continue to mortgage-off their future with out of control spending and reckless policies – both domestically and internationally. From all appearances and from both side of the aisle, it appears they are committed to auctioning off every single asset to the highest bidder, until there is nothing left to sell or until all the bidders dry up. The hotly contested debates over raising the national debt ceiling are perfunctory, at best. Hoping to quiet the growing dread in the hearts of its people and to somehow appease a watching international community, America’s leaders know that this raising of the debt ceiling will not be the last. It is one of many to come.
