I’m very confused with all the different routes our law makers are putting forth, but I can say one thing...

While I support a fiscally conservative approach to our finances overall and our financial difficulty right now, I am getting tired of all these different options coming out NONE of which will be accepted by another part of the puzzle.

The House votes in something that won’t even get considered by the Senate. The Senate may vote in something that the House will just throw out. NOTHING gets settled in Congress so we can go on then. THEN what happens?

I would like to see the Republicans stand firm, go with the message from this last conservative election, and take this historical opportunity to make the changes our country has asked them to. At the same time, I for one am getting frustrated that not one there seems to be able to do something that has a chance of being passed or even further developed.

I’ll throw this in... I support the steadfastness of the Tea Party members. I just wish Washington D.C. could remember how to be diplomatic... “Diplomatic” meaning how to get your way while allowing the other side to not have egg on face. Until they can figure out how to do that, I don’t think we will see ANYTHING accomplished at all. It’s frustrating.

The nation is at a crossroads. You reach a point where some very difficult decisions must be made. There will be winners and losers. There is no "diplomatic solution" that will make it appear that everyone is a winner or loser. The welfare state is imploding. We can't afford it. The Dems want to keep it alive by increasing taxes and mortgaging our future to the point that the country goes into the toliet consumed by welfare programs. It is time to fish or cut bait for the GOP. You either believe in your principles and rhetoric or you don't.

Let me clear away all the smoke and nonsense being fed you bu the Junk Media. The US House did it's job. It passed a Debt Ceiling bill.

NOW, let the focus be on what the Democrat Senate and President do. If the Democrat continue to do nothing but posture for the media, any consequences are on THEIR heads.

The US House DID it's job. Pass time for the media to quit whining about the GOP and ask the Democrats WHEN, if EVER, they are going to put an actual bill ON THE TABLE for the US people to see. So far all the Democrat have done is make noise, they have offered NOTHING concrete.
