My advice to my fellow Republicans is to bite your tongue and let this one go. WE have a long journey full of obstacles before we can put someone in the White House that will attempt to turn this ship around before it hits that iceberg.
We can fix this gov only IF we get our man/woman into the White House. Would we rather block the dept ceiling, and end up with 8 more years of socialist dictatorship?

Dear Guest:
Unfortunately the Republican Establishment, like progressives,have been remiss in theirfiduciary obligations. The application of a repeated annual vote on the budget ceiling is an oxymoron in of itself.
Carly Fiorina is accurate in applying a zero based budget. This is so because the budget now being voted on is for future long term planning. We have yet to spend the amount allocated from the previous budget. Add to that the water carried ( redundancy) in previous budget and you are talking serious inflated accounting .
In my view neither the progressives nor the Republican Establishment are serious about taking down the debt. The Freedom Caucus is serious about cutting our debt but is going about it in the wrong manner.
Perhaps the introduction of Paul Ryan into the process will help but I am not dumping all my chips on its success.
Politicians one and all are artful dodgers and many are silvered tongue devils many capable of creating a tulip frenzy . Voters would be wise to trust but verify.
Carly Fiorina is also right when she states that as to both tax plans and budgeting cutting politicians have campaigned for decades about what they will do if elected... ad nauseam ...and to no avail. Even more depressing instead of getting even a little better it only gets a lot worse.
Personal Best Regards:
