To which, you replied: > You're both right, but I believe Robert sees the raising of the debt limit as > syptomatic rather than causitive. Now, how could THAT be possible? Reckless, unconstitutional spending is the causitive effect for raising the debt limit repeatedly. Without the spending, there would be no need to raise the debt limit. Debt limits increase in proportion with deficit spending increases. Travis is absolutely correct in laying the blame on the GOP-controlled Congress and Executive Branch, both of which have been in GOP power for the last four years. > Failure to raise that limit would have > caused serious problems with govt bonds and the falling dollar would plummet. The dollar has been plummeting anyway against the Euro and other strong currencies, largely as a result of reckless deficit spending (in which both the GOP and the Democrats are to blame, and the Shrub Regime<tm> administration which signs on to all of this spending. You leave out the most important factor of all in your above accessment, that is the spending. The dollar would not be in free fall today had Congress responsibly addressed the deficit disorder a couple of years ago. > They WERE the only two choices for people who insist upon voting for a > candidate with a chance to win. So, in effect, these people lose anyway, right? It would have been much better to simply lose while voting for principle, than to lose anyway by voting for the lesser of two evils. John McManus once wrote that the ONLY wasted vote is the one you cast for a candidate who you know will not represent YOU! So many people obviously feel the same way as you do, that any way of breaking out of the box is almost hopeless, and our civilization will likely face a daunting future once all of the 'lesser of two evils' over all of these years are compounded resulting in an economic and social disaster of crisis proportions. Not trying to be gloom and doom exactly. But answer me then, if we continue as a society to vote for the 'lesser of two evils', how long would you suppose it might take for evil to prevail in every aspect of our civilization from economics to social and foreign policy failure? We're probably getting at that point much faster today than you might care to admit.
