Think the voice of regular people can’t make a difference? When Harry Reid, Democrat Majority Leader in the US Senate, bashes the grassroots effort by citizens who want a reduction in the size, scope and spending of government, and our Vice President, Democrat Joe Biden,compares the same citizens to “terrorists”, I think we’re being heard!
Sure this vote in Congress today is not enough, but it’s a step. Your thoughts on this or any other issue?
Here’s a comment on this topic that was posted on a different thread:
Regarding the debt ceiling increase I think that there is an important fact that I haven’t seen covered anywhere, four congressmen simply refused to vote. We can posture and puff up all day long about who voted yes or no,but to not vote I find to be simply deplorable. You where elected to lead not to be to cowardly to even cast a vote. The four that refused to vote should not even make it through the Democratic primary next time, let alone get re-elected.

Yea, the Tea Party patriots are fiscal terrorists. How dare these people who want fiscal responsibility
from our Fed Gov’t. If it wasn’t for them there wouldn’t be near the cuts made to reduce our countrys deficit.

Kageman, I’m not always a big Jon Stewart fan, but lately he’s been going after Obama and Congress. Here’s a link to a great visual graph of our national debt and the tiny “impact”of the spending cuts approved by the “terrorist” conservatives in congress. It’s funny but also probably opened the eyes of a lot of liberal viewers, which is always good.

The day the debt deal was signed the feds borrowed $239 billion. That was the greatest amount the national debt has ever risen on any single day in history. International markets are tanking. Wall Street is down over 400 points as I write. Here comes the 2nd dip, or is it the 3rd, or are we just going to be ‘dipped’ from now onward?
