Right about now, a good portion of the nation is creeping closer and closer to the edge of their seat. What will happen in Congress? What will be the outcome of the bill they pass? What happens if a deal can't be reached?
The two opposed bodies of congress are probably NO closer to reaching a deal than they were a day ago, a week ago, a month ago. It's no surprise, the Democrat controlled Senate, refuses to cut programs, which of course makes them look bad. They don't want to break all their political promises and upset their voter base.
The other side, the Republican led House of Representatives, are typically against spending more, which is what this whole debate is about in the first place,only this time, the Tea Party Representatives are a majority of the majority, and they are adamant against spending any more, and are completely against agreeing to anything even closely resembling increases. They pretty much all feel that they were placed there by the Tea Party movement, for the sole purpose to cut Government spending. Now is their chance. They're cumulatively convinced that agreeing to an even moderately drawn bill, by their own Republican leader John Boehner, would be unacceptable.
Good luck getting those Tea Party Representatives to bend, oh dear Democratic Senators.
Nothing is happening but bickering, and now it may be too late. The Deadline is fast approaching and by the time a deal is reached, if any, it may be too late for treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner And Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to have enough time to run with the bill, and actually borrow the necessary money to pay the immediate debts due.
And the finger pointing has also begun. Each party, including the President, have all been trying to bass the blame toward the other and save some face. This is especially true of the President. He is trying so hard to blame the Republicans that almost everything coming out of his mouth at this point is a grossly twisted truth or a complete blatant lie. I personally have been getting so disgusted listening to the president, I can't bare to even leave the broadcast playing, and have been revulsed into turning off several different receivers at different times.
But at the bottom of it all, there is only ONE truth:
The Democrats ALONE, led by Nancy Polocy and the President, have SPENT 8 TRILLION DOLLARS, MORE THAN ALL THE PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS COMBINED, TOTALLING NOW 14+ TRILLION DOLLARS !!!
The Democrats can not blame anyone but themselves. This is ENTIRELY their fault.
Neither is there ANY Fault with congress as a whole right now, as the President says. The Voting rules of the Constitution allow for and actually CREATE ON PURPOSE, discord and non-agreement.
Even if a deal IS NOT REACHED, this is still the fault of ALL THE DEMOCRATS for SPENDING WHAT THEY HAVE ALREADY and REACHING THE DEBT CEILING IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
The Tea party was partially voted in to STOP the DEMOCRATS from SPENDING. And here we all are, at this vote. They should stand like a rock. I prey they stand like a rock.
If a deal is NOT reached, at least there will be no more spending. The Economy may be hurt. The US Credit rating may be damaged. The financial markets of the world may see trouble. The List goes on and the impact might be far worse that expected. War. Famine. Pestilence. These may be a stretch, but they truly are ultimate possibilities of this situation, however far reaching.
I hope the Senate Democrats realize what they have done, tuck their tail between their legs, and yield any and all remaining power to the Republicans by signing the Republican legislation, as their power is completely useless right now, and rightfully so.
God Bless America

And a few quick quotes from Thomas Jefferson, one of the Greatest Minds in US History, and one of our founding fathers.
"The end of democracy and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations."
"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world."
"I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."
"Most bad government has grown out of too much government."
"An elective despotism was not the government we fought for."
