I am okay with it as long as every single American gets one! But seriously, this is wrong on so many levels. The fact is that we have once again reached the debt ceiling, which the President wants Congress to raise.  Speaker Boehner said after meeting with President Obama in negotiations trying to resolve the “fiscal cliff” that the President  told him that we don’t have a spending problem. This is not what Obama’s own debt commission reported, concluding that spending is the driving force behind our national debt crisis.  We have already suffered a credit downgrade because we have not made an effort to get our fiscal house in order. We have not passed a budget in nearly four years. The commission report said: "Even after the economy recovers, federal spending is projected to increase faster than revenues, so the government will have to continue borrowing money to spend." When Press Secretary Jay Carney avoided directly answering the question about minting a $1 Trillion dollar coin, which it could deposit in the treasury and borrow against, it has caused many to be concerned.  The Republicans are being vilified as being willing to make the United States default on its debt, causing a global financial crisis.  The problem is, and continues to be, the spending.  Until the administration acknowledges this and becomes accountable for causing, or at the very least, exacerbating, our national debt crisis, we will continue to see the parties divided.  We will most assuredly see another credit downgrade, which would cause interest rates to increase, making our situation even more dire.  This uncertainty is also contributing to our sluggish economy as business owners are holding on to cash and not hiring new employees or growing their businesses.  Only a growing economy will grow the tax base and increase revenue to the federal government.  We are in a critical standoff between two very different ideologies, and it is we the taxpayers who are continuing to suffer.
