Our country has increased it's debt about $10 trillion in the last 12 years. That is almost triple the total debt the country incurred all the years before. Raising the debt limit without doing something besides spending more than you take in is in your words Mr. President truely a failure in leadership.
With deficits running over $1 trillion annually this cannot continue. We DO have a spending problem. For four years the country has operated without a budget. This is not only unacceptable but I believe also unlawful.
YOU have the bully pulpit. Use it. Call on the American people to tell Congress to quit their political posturing and do what is necessary before the entire country drowns not from waters rising due to globale warming. But because of RED INK!
