Does anyone else remember the Dire Straits song “Money for Nothing”?
I think of that song just about every time I hear some people talk about the national debt and the debt ceiling and claim that we just need to raise the ceiling without worrying about spending.
There are plenty of people who want to ignore the impact of our profligate spending in Congress and just keep borrowing and spending. They act like they get their money for nothing, but it is We the People, who pick up the tab.
I wrote about this problem in a recent article on constitutionstudy.com, but even in the last few days, the rhetoric and fiscal irresponsibility have only gotten worse.
Will our employees in Washington, D.C., ever get their fiscal act together, or is the U.S. dollar doomed to become nothing more than Monopoly Money?
