Just read where the Congress passed a bill allowing them to keep going further in debt until May, and borrowing, and borrowing. How stupid is that. We need to get our government on a budget and live within our means like "real families" have to. And to top it off, they pulled a stunt!! Here's what the article said about the stunt:
"It includes something of a stunt -- a provision to force the Senate to write a budget by suspending lawmakers' pay unless they pass a spending resolution. The "No Budget No Pay" provision is largely symbolic, since Senate Budget Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-Wash) already has pledged to write a budget -- something that the Senate has not done for nearly four years, largely for political reasons.
The passage of the debt ceiling legislation would stave off until May 19 or later another showdown over paying the country's bills and would ultimately raise the debt limit by whatever new bills the nation racks up over the next 90 days. It's not quite a blank check, but analysts believe it would allow the Treasury Department the leeway to build a new cushion before the new deadline."
Is anyone else as tired of these type of games with NO work getting done, as I am. I wouldn't oppose dissolving this bunch of lunatics and re-electing new people, maybe elect accountants rather than lawyers.
