I don't know the author of this, so if you wrote it, please let us know so that we can give you credit. (A google search turned up several people using the same quotation.) However, this little saying really hits the nail on the head!
“Witnessing the Republicans and the Democrats bicker over the U.S. debt is like watching two drunks argue over a bar bill on the Titanic.”
Unless we address the financial issues facing this country, we are the Titanic and we will sink not only our economy but the world's. The United States economy is definitely the world's titanic and the financial problems we are facing is the iceberg. Will we allow our leaders to ignore the warning signs and drive our ship of state into a financial cataclysm?
We must demand from our leaders that they seriously ATTACK the problem and stop nibbling around the edges. It is for that reason I support some of the ideas that Ron Paul has suggested i.e. one trillion in cuts including chopping off several cabinet departments. Without strong bad tasting medicine, we will not solve our problems. Do we have the guts to do what we need to do or are we going to allow the politicians "kick" the can down the road so that someone else will have to face the eventual collapse? Unfortunately, politicians do not react until their is an "emergency", so we doubt that there will be any actions to avert the disaster.
What do you think?

Love the quote! America is like the Titanic... it seems few realize that it can sink and the ones who do realize are being ignored!
ReplyDeleteNot sure yet who I support in the GOP. I have a few that I like, but not love. There are however a few I really really dislike and hope they do not continue on.
