Have done with this “debt ceiling” nonsense. It gets raised every time it comes up. Just abolish the notion of a government that runs on a budget. Why bother with the pretense anymore?

That's the way the U.S. has been running for the past five years.

It's all over. I can hardly keep from weeping.

“That’s the way the U.S. has been running for the past five years. “

The debt ceiling has been a pretense for a lot longer than five years, unfortunately. I’ve said for a long time that the Obama administration is not the cause of America’s collapse, but merely a symptom of a decline that has been coming for decades.
