The amazing thing to me is what a weak bunch of self promoters these guys are. They pretend they are the heirs of the founding fathers, you know, the guys that assumed almost $80 million in debt with a population of 4 million, but really both parties seem to be adopting incompatible aspects of both Hamilton and Jefferson. It is time to cut spending and raise revenues. To continue down the path toward default means higher interest rates on the debt, more nothing for something. I've always felt that our governmental system was bloated, but could be addressed through honest methods. Deficit reduction of 1/3 revenue 2/3 spending cuts would be an honest start and start the discussion before election on how to do the rest.
