As far as Congress goes, may I quote theWeeper of the House "HELL NO", I'd be in jail after 15 minutes with Eric Cantor or Paul Ryan. Smug is not my middle name and I find as I get older, I have very little time for the Do as I say not as I Do crowd. I have never hit anyone in my life, not kidding, not even when we were kids, I'd had to break my streak and I think I would in DC. Not that I think I could be elected. I am not an economist, lawyer or schooled in politics either and I think you do have to have that kind of experience, if we've learned nothing, it's that people like the Tea Party have no experience in dealing with the Country's problems because we are part of a large world and as the US goes so does the world, economically speaking. I don't have that experience and wouldn't feel right about voting for or against things that could have far reaching affects that could hurt us because I didn't have that knowledge. This deficit is a perfect example. We have some freshmen in Congress that think, so what, let is go, the rest of the Financial World is holding their breath. I don't know all the ramifications of defaulting, but know it wouldn't be good. But I can make everyone on this forum a promise, I will not give up this fight, even if we should not win, I will not stop until it is known by all just how many of us are being ignored. I was really scared this morning, now that it's over, I would do it again and again until we get some notice. Thanks for the support, but it's for all of us.
