Either way, both choices that are on the table for the Government to choose from will ruin them. The US government dug a whole, that it officially can not get out of.

WTF are you talking about? Obama spent all that money on "bailouts" and more importantly his sweepting health-care reform. To say that the Republicans caused this is bullshit. For one, its "US" Republicans that are trying to keep us from writing checks we can no longer cash. And Obama and his brilliant ideas is the one that's egging this on. Learn something!

Look.. the reason that we're in a stalemate right now in Congress is because Republicans are steadfast in their/our ideology that we shouldn't be overspending. I certainly don't want to see social security checks stopped from being dispensed. But I certainly don't think that increasing the debt ceiling is a viable way of curbing on nations finances. What needs to be done is a major overhaul on our government spending and that's what the Republicans are trying to do.
My argument is that when Obama first got into office he was faced w/ the greatest economic recession since the great depression and he threw money at it. 720 Billion or something like that.. Then, still in the midst of it all, he decided to reform health care at what is even still an enormeous expense.
I don't think anyone in their right mind should fault Republicans for not wanting to continue this spending.
I don't want to pay more taxes, I'm broke enough as it is. But, so is our country and when you don't have any money, you shouldn't be spending it.
its just the way it is and the way it should be..

that the Democrats need to reduce government spending by eliminating social policies that are either outdated or unsustainable. We also should eliminate freeloaders for leeching on our welfare system by implementing mandatory drug tests. Then, we need to tell everyone to listen to house music while munching on ecxtasy to that we're all at peace w/ the world.
Then we need to bring our soldiers home now that Osama Bin Laden is dead and we need to revamp our entire nations infrastructure. Roads, bridges, mass transit, and utility grids.
We need to invest in education especially in Math and Sciences and make it mandatory to achieve excellence. Anything less would be totally unacceptable.
We need to get back to fundamentals. Work and get rewarded. Don't and you don't survive. Handouts are over with.
