New National Debt

E-mail to Congress:

I have just read Randy Neugebauer's latest Roundup.

Part of it was, "Last week, Congress voted to increase the government’s credit card limit by $1.9 trillion, bringing the national debt limit to $14.294 trillion." Randy then asked redundantly, "Who is going to pay the bill?".

I replied to Randy that he and I know it was his associates in Congress who passed this bill. It doesn't matter who will pay. The damage is done and payment will be made by someone or all in one form or another. We don't know now who that will be.

Randy was personally opposed to the bill and voted against it. I congratulated him, but pointed out that he is still not doing his job. His job is to convince his associates to do the right thing.

This may be too big a job for him. Up until now he and you have been failing miserably. Congress continues to do the wrong thing, compounding error upon error, with apparently little deterrence from any action you may be taking. We pay for results, not intentions.
