Our congressional leaders need to wake up, and begin making the difficult decisions they are being paid to do. If they are unable to lead our country, then each elected representative should be replaced immediately.

Please watch the above clip regarding the United States Government budget. Our elected politicians do not seem to worry about balancing our budget, or decrease our spending.
The debt and deficits have completely spiraled out of control, with no signs of slowing in the future. We need to get our debt under control ASAP, and elect officials that will make tough decisions for our nation. The USA debt & spending will be more than our annual GDP in a short time, if nothing is addressed & changed.
The citizens of the United States can no longer turn a blind eye to this problem. Call your representative today to discuss the concerns, and see what he/ she is doing to correct the problem.

The Oklahoma 5th district congressman considers the new debt ceiling increase a win for normal American citizens. I really don't share his enthusiasm, or see how increasing current government spending without significant cuts to the US budget can be considered a victory for the American people.
Rep. James Lankford happens to be the congressman in my district. I recently sent him an email stating my disappointment that he voted for this increase. I would like to get his logic or rationale on how increasing a credit line for a near bankrupt country would be sound advice under any circumstances. I can't imagine any banker increasing a credit line for any person not living within their means. It just doesn't make any sense. If Rep. Lankford is confused on the bill, and is not sure if it will benefit the American people, he can look over Rep. Pelosi's shoulder to see how she is voting, then vote the opposite.

Interesting commentary from Peter Schiff. Government is conducting business as usual in DC at a time when we need strong leadership to make the important decisions. I like how he compares their arguments to re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titantic.
We are in desperate need of real leadership in Washington, DC to get our country back on track.
