The Debt Limit. Should we raise it... or not? and WHY?
« on: February 10, 2011, 07:12:44 PM »
Should our elected representatives in Washington agree to another hike in the Debt Limit? What will happen if they do? What will happen if they dont?

Discuss.

(If you are offering an opinion thats ok....just identify it as such)

I voted "no".  Now is the time to buckle under and live within our means.  If they raise it up, based upon continued hallow promises of fiscal responsibility to follow, they will continue to repeal and repeat and repeat.  Now or never.
