Raising The Debt Limit

I find it very odd that business flourished and produced wealthy people, from the 50's through the end of the 90's DESPITE MUCH higher taxes all through out. The middle class came into existence, people lived better lives than ever before and the economy was healthy, even during up and down spurts.

Now the notion that even lower taxes, with controlled spending at the expense of even more Government workers being laid off, will somehow be picked up by industry in the form of jobs, jobs, jobs and not further affect the economy...is ludicrous. Where is the slightest hint that this is true within the last 10 plus years?

This isn't about dealing with reality, this is about a segment of society that has a particular view of the Government and it's role in our lives...and making that view a reality with blunt measures, regardless of the havoc, continued stagnation, and unnecessary further economic decline that is being ignored to do so.

There is a problem, but that's where their attention to detail ends. The multiple elephants in the room are being ignored for ideology. They will suck us down a whole that will take another 20 years to get out of.
