Well, here we go again talking about the debt ceiling at a stalemate right here in Washington DC as we continue to march towards the inevitable crossroads of fiscal irresponsibility. We’ve been here so many times that I wouldn’t blame many Americans for tuning out this go around. But the story may be playing out differently this time. So stay tuned. Or at least we hope we’re going in a different direction. The Republicans in the US House of Representatives have now released their answer. It’s called the limit, save, grow act. Republicans want reforms alongside raising the debt limit. They want to reduce spending and strengthen our economy. That’s what they want. Biden and the Democrats, however, they want a blank check. To be clear, a blank check is practically what they already have. The Congressional Budget Office projects $2 trillion in deficits over the next decade. Well, I guess they made that projection without considering if Democrats get control of Congress again, because we know they’ll pass another few trillion dollar bills if they get that opportunity. And even when spending was raised for our nation’s response to the COVID pandemic, of course, Democrats would want to maintain those raised levels. Biden, President Biden has zero interest in Lauren national debt. His main interest is in that interest rates, which he has no problem raising again, and again, and again, make it harder to own a home, make it harder to expand yourself in your personal life to perhaps even get married and buy a car even is very difficult with these new interest rates, making anyone with a credit card nervous that they’re sky high interest rates may become even higher.
But the importance of the limit save grow Act goes far beyond mere economics. It represents a call to arms for all those who believe in the transformational power of personal responsibility. One of the things this Act seeks to do is to restore common sense work requirements for welfare programs. We need to restore value in self sufficiency, individual agency and the dignity of work, through our welfare programs, that temporary assistance has become a permanent dependence for far too many.
That’s no big deal for Joe Biden, a man who’s 80 years old, and yet he just announced he’s seeking reelection, you have to understand that this man loves government. He sees it as the end all be all answer to every problem facing our nation and anyone personally. And as long as Joe Biden is president, and the left thinks they defined the terms around raising the debt ceiling, our nation will continue in this downward spiral. dismal. Republicans control the House, but Democrats have the Senate and the presidency. Biden is not concerned with solutions to these economic and moral issues. They’re flipped in our country and he doesn’t care. Yet Republicans, they’re standing up for the message of personal responsibility. You gotta commend them in the in the house, they don’t have a whole lot of margin of error, but they’re standing up. So while it may be understandable that one will want to tune it out, don’t we need answers to the growing debt that we’re leaving behind for our children or grandchildren and McCarthy under his leadership in the House, they’re trying to get to some of the problems so that we can solve them, even if it’s incremental? Because we need an answer that creates a better world for our posterity, the new and younger generation, instead of just making things better for those who are as old as Joe Biden.
