How about they pass a budget and then.......the horror.....stick with it.


That way they can stop voting to up the debt limit every 6 months.

Of course bambam would have to stay home instead of going on fancy vacations, and I don't see that happening any time soon.

There is one, short, concise, absolute, unquestionable truth about everything taking place

in Washington DC.

No matter which political party, or President you support.

If you are an American citizen.

CONGRATULATIONS!

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills. ... I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”

— Sen. Barack Obama, floor speech in the Senate, March 16, 2006
