WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON ALL OF THIS CONCERNING THE NATIONAL DEBT?

We need to fire the lot of them.  Clean house and get new people in there.  I do not think politics should be a career option.  You get elected, you serve one term and GO HOME and get a job like the rest of us.

I hope everyone remembers this folly until the next election.  I was so mad I was tossing things at the TV.

I agree. They should also be trained to deal with problems as they arise, not just shove them over for the "next guy" to tackle later.

Quoting Joeygoat:

I am angry at all of them right now. I hate that they are not thinking of the consequences for trying to make a point. Grr.
