When our credit rating was downgraded the last time, it was as much because we haven't controled the debt.If we keep raising the debt limit, we will get to the point that we can't pay the interest, much less the principle.The answer is more revenue, and the answer to "more revenue" is more production/jobs;not as the Democrats believe, more taxes.We can only improve things by manufacturing, mining, or growing more."Services" don't produce anything tangible.We need to drill more oil/gas and mine more coal, and sell it to the world.If we sell more than the Arabs, Russians, and China;the price is driven down and they become beholden to us,rather than us to them.As long as others have more dollars than we do, the dollar will be worthless.Forget about borrowing; produce, produce, produce.
