BloggeRhythms 7/24/2011

Like most folks for the past few weeks, I've been watching this debt ceiling situation play out. And I simply don't see how a mutually satisfactory solution can be reached. Because both sides have mandates from their constituents, and those mandates are diametrically opposed.

One side says cap government borrowing, cut spending, and don't add a dime in taxes while the opposition says borrow as much as possible and take more funds from the "rich."

Now, my point for today is, it doesn't matter which side is right or wrong as far as the debate goes, the only thing that counts is...the issue remains unresolved because there's no room for negotiation. And that's exactly how it should be.

Voters who sent representatives into government on their behalf have a right to expect that those elected stand firm behind their principles and not give in. And since that's the case, the facts should speak for themselves. That's why there should be no negotiation and no compromise. Then, when everyone sees the results we'll all know who was right or wrong without doubt.

That's why the best resolution for the ongoing argument is to simply stop and let the clock run out on August 2nd. That's what the majority of incumbents want, and that's what they should get. And then, on August 3rd, we can start to figure out what to do with whatever's left of the nation.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
