A lot of people can't seem to understand the difference between money "earned", and money "received". Instead of jacking up the taxes on the "rich" let's start taxing the 47% of the citizens who pay no income taxes at all. Money isn't really worth the same amount everywhere in the country. Someone making $100 grand a year may be just scraping by in Manhatten, but where I live they would be doing pretty good. Del is right about the hyper spending Govt. they are spending $$ faster than they can beg, borrow, steal, or print it. They were aware of the Debt ceiling when they were breaking spending records for the last few years. They should have mentioned it when they were coming up with trillion dollar spending sprees. If you can't afford it don't buy it. They said America could afford it, and the people bought it. The only way to force the Govt. to spend within their means is to leave the Debt ceiling alone. Throwing $$ at this countries problems isn't helping. It seems to be having the opposite effect.
