The Debt Ceiling

So despite what political pundits are saying, I think we have more than exceeded our debt ceiling. If you pile those debts up on top of each other you will not only reach the ceiling and go through the roof, you will probably reach the stratosphere, where space shuttles jettison their booster rockets like our government did it's fiscal common sense about six to seven years ago.

So now we have the President looking for a "big" solution and the opposition looking for an extension. This is mind-numbing street theater of the worst possible type. And in a city known for tragedy at the theater (just ask Mrs. Lincoln), this nonsense has got to stop and some adults need to enter the discussion and fix the mess. We can't be everything to everybody any longer, we can't police the world with our brave armed forces anymore, we can't continue to let 5% of our population carry 60% of the tax burden, and we can't condemn our children's children to a desperate future by not curbing our over generous system of entitlements.

So let's allow Roger Goodell and DeMaurice Smith to take over the negotiations. They have just resolved something much greater than our National Debt- they have nothing to do now that pro football is fixed for 10 years, so why not? Look at it this way - in Congress, when a guy sends dickpix to a woman, they make him resign; while in the NFL, they'll put him in the Hall of Fame, despite his indickscretions. Which is the happier solution? To use the popular political jargon we have been hearing for the last six months, let's stop kicking the can down the road, and let's start kicking the football down the field to fiscal solvency. Nice how it all comes together sometimes, ain't it bro?
