The Debt Deal:  We can see November from our house

We are greatly saddened by the Washington establishment on both sides of the aisle (and in the White House) by the so-called Debt deal. They have once again played politics with the American public and used us as game pieces to continue business as usual.

The behaviors in DC remind us of children with no boundaries who destroy a family to get their own individualist ways. Children who steal your credit card and use it for their shenanigans are no different than our leaders in DC. President Obama said, “Let me remind you this debt ceiling pays for the money we’ve already spent.” We ask you to think about that reasoning. Let’s spend and then raise the debt limit afterwards. Reality is this: They spent because they did not have a budget (because they did not pass one). Children do not like budgets as it restrains them from spending. That is exactly why they are kicking and screaming about a Balanced Budget Amendment. Here are the facts:

• They used our credit card for a spending spree. They ruined our credit. Now WE have to pay the bill. This is no different than a dysfunctional family who bails out the out of control child, slaps them on the wrist, and tells them not to do it anymore. The child agrees sheepishly. The child is good for a short time and then…off the chain they go when you turn your back. (In the USA, they spend behind the scenes through regulatory departments such as EPA, DOT, Department of Education, etc. through grant money and other non-transparent ways). Is it spending if you don’t see it until it’s time to raise the debt ceiling because then you see it? Read that sentence again!
• If you do not fix the real, deep down issues of this dysfunctional family aka Nation, you will continue to repeat bad behavior again and again and the family aka Nation will no longer enjoy Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
• The irony of this … our children will inherit these simple-minded and weak-willed decisions by their parental politicians. Then the creditor will come knocking on the door of the most innocent among us and the bill will be due.
• The spoiled children are running the country while we ignore the biggest threat facing this nation. This is no way to run a family or a country.

We ask all Americans to do their homework on this compromise and understand the full impact it will have on their lives. It is a big deal and should not be taken lightly. For more information about the Debt Deal, take a look at the Power Point used by John Boehner as discussion points of the deal. Debt Framework by Boehner The following articles can help you begin your research today. There will be a lot more published and average American citizens will do their research and find other interesting tidbits that we will post in the comment section of this same blog at First Coast Tea Party. Come back often throughout the next two days and see what else has been uncovered. Post what you find too. Sharing information will empower the people to hold their representatives accountable. We have faith in Grassroots America because they don’t have the keys to the Nation’s credit card. They are only able to see the bill, ask questions and pay for it! They will do a great job of finding out the truth and a great job in the polls in November 2012. We can see November from our house!
