What makes August 2nd the magic date? And who said August 2nd is the magic date, and how did they come up with August 2nd? Has anybody even asked those questions? The media apparatchiks have not, and you wouldn’t expect them to, they’re shills of the Democrat Party. Will the country really go bankrupt and default on August 3rd if no agreement is reached? The honest answer is no, it won’t. In fact, default won’t happen on Septemeber 3rd, December 3rd, or even August 3rd of next year, and to be honest, I hope no agreement is reached and I’ll tell you why. It will force the children in D.C. to stop spending money we don’t have, and to cut and/or eliminate a good portion of the welfare/nanny state, and I’m perfectly fine with that happening. Raising the debt limit really means kicking the can down the road while conducting business as usual, digging that hole deeper for the next generation.

The thing to remember is no entitlement program in this country is constitutional, and every one of them needs to be on the chopping block, period. And the very first item that should be completely eliminated without even so much as a second thought is ObamaCare. Bureaucracies such as the Departments of Energy, Education, Homeland Security, Labor, the EPA, the TSA all should be eliminated. This isn’t complicated stuff, it’s really quite simple. Families, you and I, we do this stuff and live within our means everyday. And sometimes if we run in to a streak of hard times, we have no choice but to stop eating out 3 times a week, and we might just have to eliminate the movie channels from our cable TV bills. There is no excuse why the kids can’t do that in D.C, and by not raising the debt limit by Tuesday just might force them for the very first times in their lives, to be responsible and do the right thing, even if in some sectors it’s not the popular thing to do.
