One day after the US Senate lost a Democrat and gained a Republican, they started a debate on the value of raising the national debt ceiling by another $1.7 trillion.
Are they out of their minds? The stimulus is not working. The only institutions making money are banks who screwed up, took bailouts and are now paying out super large bonuses.
The US taxpayer has lost out at every end and now the Senate wants to increase our debt even more.
I think the Senate needs to sit down and look at reality. With unemployment the highest in our nation's history, it is going to be a long time before adequate tax dollars start coming in to begin paying off the debt.
Rather than talk about raising the debt, let's start talking about recovering what has been lost through fraud. First Medicare - $60 some million a year, let's get that money back, punish the criminals with real sentences, as well as paying back double what they stole, not a slap on the wrist.
Illegal aliens - if they are working let's get their tax dollars and then they can apply for a visa or get sent home. Let's go after those companies and individuals who hire illegals, make them pay back all back taxes - including Social Security and Medicare - and then fine them equal to the back taxes they owe.
Rather than take the easy way out, let's take the right way out - make those who owe or steal from us pay back everything double.
Its Common Sense!
