Even after this vicious debate over the debt ceiling is settled, that action, in itself, will not solve our greatest problems. We can continue to raise debt ceilings and argue over tax increases on the rich versus reduced entitlements, but America will remain in a deep, possibly irreversible financial quagmire unless this government drastically changes its current misguided direction.
These problems can be solved, the solutions have been identified; we just need our leaders to implement them. However, this president and the Congress show not the slightest inclination to either end the wars or initiate an aggressive jobs program. If they continue on this path, refusing to do what is needed to bring this nation's current crisis under control, then their failure to act responsibly will lead directly to a financial collapse and a societal eruption of immense proportions.
