BUSINESS AS USUAL

HURRAY FOR THE SENATE - IT SAVED OUR WAY OF LIFE!

As Rush Limbaugh asked, "Why have a debt limit if, whenever we reach it, we just increase it? Why not stop having one?" It's another manifestation of our country's lack of standards; if we set a standard, such as school test scores, that we fail to meeet, why just lower the standards and preserve self-estemm or something. In the debt case, lowering the standard means elevating the debt limit.

The idea of a debt limit that's enforced, however, is a healthy thing. Individuals and busineses MUST abide by limits on indebtedness, else they succumb. In the House of Reps there was considerable good sense in approving a budget that reduced spending and did not exceed the routinely escalated debt limit. B.O. and the Dummycrat Senate, where most of the pork and thievery take place, however, wanted no part of that.

What we have is a green light for for more money-printing and borrowing and supposed spending reductions "over the next decade." Tee hee; in a decade, that will be only a memory.

What a BADministration; what a once-great country.
