Why is there very little talk from the GOP that Reagan raised debt ceiling 18 times?

They all raised it and are part of the problem. If you have a credit card that is maxed, the bank will not give you any more money. Idiots in Washington feel that we are exempt from that rule.

Bush did alot of stupid things but on this occasion the situation is different. Bush's big mistake was Iraq and that was a massive crime. This debt ceiling thing is much different.

America's debt is unsustainable. Moody's has just downgraded my country of Ireland and is in the process of trying to breakup the Euro. Over in the the US a mister Warren Buffett is very interested in seeing that the US does not default on it's debt.

This is very series the market wolves are waiting to attack the US. Republicans believe they can beat them off but the president knows that to do so would require massive spending cuts. Mass lay-offs of the public sector under Republican plans or beat back the wolves of the market if the country defaults.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
