Dave.

    Your response sounds like a politicians obfuscatory reponse to a
common sense question.   Smoke and mirrors and finger pointing at the
opposition.  One cannot separate the debt from its accumulating
interest. One must look at the whole of the problem and not be
distracted with devious evasions.  (but then again, isn't that what
politics is all about, the control of public perception.)

   My questions still stands, If so much money has been saved, why
extend the debt ceiling.  My take on it is that we are being put on a
course of National bankrupcy so as to destroy what is left of a
Constituational based Sovereign Country which will clear the way for a
One World Goverment. 

   Apparently I listen with the ear of common sense, while you prefer
the magic of rhetoric.  There are no IFs, COULDA's, WOULDA's,
SHOULDA's in life.  Those are to be found in the minds of publicly
supported experts and mind controllers who stock in trade is in the
manipulation of the taxpaying working stiff  People have to be
carefully indoctrinated to substitute their own common sense in return
to emotionally inspiring language that promises but never holistically
delivers.  I question whether it is at all possible, under the present
circumstances for the people to have  a value for value relationship
with their elected officials

  I'm sorry Dave, but I am sure that my view, along with countless
numbers of others of the silient majority, who still retain their
common sense, has not changed.   WHATS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
