#1 How about spending a lot less? You are all worried about 'climate change' that you push Zero Emissions. Its beyond time to start being concerned about 'economic collapse' and push a Zero Balance, can't spend what you don't take in.

Q:
How many times has Congress raised the Debt Ceiling?

A:
93 times in 106 years, since 1917,
or 24 times since 2000, the last 23 years.

I think LSD's and RINO's have a SPENDING ADDICTION.

#5 They’ve been pretty responsible about debt lately so I feel comfortable upping the limit on their credit card.

...Oh, they took care of that years ago: Congress gets paid no matter what, and even if a Congressman or Senator wanted to refuse a check - they can't.
