There is a time for compromise and there is a time to stand your ground. Figuratively the Republicans in the U.S. House have drawn a line in the sand and who will cross that line and stand with them in refusing to incur more and more debt?
When I was a young man LBJ started the "Great Society" and the "War on Poverty" and we have been on a spending binge ever since..... Democrats and Republicans.... No MORE !
To those who recommend caution and compromise I say, if not now, when? The press will always be against us. We may not have this chance again. America may not have this chance again. Give the President and the Senate an out and if they won't take it they will be responsible for any shutdown in the government.Even at this late date neither the Senate or President Obama have offered any concrete solution. You can't negotiate with the wind.
