It's Time To Suck It Up And Pay Our Bill

Raise the debt ceiling, like every president has bitten the bullet and done. Raise taxes and take your medicine. You cared, innocently­, about helping others. No shame in that. But simultaneo­usly, you got married to a couple of idiots who blew all your money and left the whole family with nothing to show for it. Saddam's dead? Osama's dead?

If we can't even get that, I have little faith in frank and open looong talks happening on the circumstan­ces of our immediate dilemmas.
