We need to stop self-analyzing in search of guilt and get back to work. We need a President who understands private business and citizens come ahead of government programs, who puts residents of Joplin MO ahead of Taliban leaders’ bribes, and who understands we are part of the people of the world, not their provider. And considering the money that has been plundered the last 2 1/2 years the last thing we need now is to raise the debt ceiling. Time to start answering those debt collectors' calls and get straight. We've done enough and should be loved not hated for it.

our money has been 'plundered' for far longer than the last 2 1/2 years, a fact you continue to ignore. of course, we can't do anything now about what's past, we can only use what we've learned to change now and in the future. the debt ceiling has to be raised now, but can certainly be lowered later. we can't afford to default on our current obligations. that would only cause more and bigger problems.
the fact that we are a progressive society is laudable, but we can certainly do better. we have done a lot, but we have not done enough.
