The only way to rein in Washington is to take away our money. Not raising the debt ceiling is the only way to force America to cut government, something liberals abhor.
IMO a better course would be to throw the debt ceiling out. Let government spend whatever it wants. It won't take long for the American taxpayer to "rein in Washinmgton".....but it won't be with words or votes.
Remember the "Arab Spring"? This nation needs an "American Autumn."
The Old Testament story of Nehemiah and the rebuilding of Jerusalem comes to mind. Israel was held in bondage and Nehemiah, through divine guidance, asked for and received permission from the Babylonian king, Artaxerxes, to rebuild Jeruasalem. After the restoration was complete, which involved a concerted effort from the faithful remnant of Israelites and included the rebuilding of THE HOUSE OF GOD—THE TEMPLE, the prophet Ezra shows up and orders THE BOOK to be brought forth and read publicly for all the faithful to hear. It was a re-dedication of the Israelites to their God, their calling, their land.
America needs just that...a calling of the faithful remnant to work with great dedication toward a restoration of the PEOPLE’S HOUSE (and all of our places of governance), a public reading of THE CONSTITUTION, and a reminder to all of our founding, our calling, our privilege and duty as the most blessed nation on the planet.
Anything less, I am afraid, will fail to turn our country around.
So you want to hand the Democrats and MSM Ghadaffi-like powers so they can buy more supporters where our only option is public insurrection? No thanks.
