Even though Liberals in the House or Senate haven't ACTUALLY submitted a proposal for the "debt talks", they've certainly put their "2 cents" worth in (inflation adjusted: $.014, Government-adjusted cost to tax payers: $363 million).
Several TRILLION dollars is difficult to comprehend, so I thought I'd give real-world, home-base analogies...
Let's say you make.....$100,000.00 per year. And let's say that, based on that income, you're currently on pace to spend $130,000.00 per year. Clearly in a BIG fiscal mess because of your own stupid spending decisions, you come up with four "solutions" which you believe will "fix" the problem:
FIX I: The various Liberal Plans
Step 1: Obtain a new credit card (no limit)
Step 2: Stop buying chewing gum
Step 3: Buy new car, new boat, new wardrobe, solid gold toilet, 24-hour "spank-o-vision", etc etc etc
FIX II: The Reid Plan
Step 1: Obtain a new credit card with small limit
Step 3: Buy new car, new boat, new wardrobe, solid gold toilets
Step 3: Stop paying mortgage
FIX III: The Dumbama Plan
Step 1: Steal money from wife and children's bank accounts, retirement funds
FIX IV: The "Tea Party" Plan
Step 1: Cut up all credit cards
Step 2: Cancel subscriptions to "Playboy", stop wallpapering with $1000.00 bills, sell solid gold statuary in yard, stop buying $5,000.00 bottles of wine every week.
Clearly, any REASONABLE, RATIONAL human being would see that three of these "fixes" (#1, #2 and #3) WON'T fix the problem. In fact, those three "fixes" will exacrebate the problem and sink you into insolvency.
In fact, I would argue that any of these three "fixes" would make you a "F***ING IDIOT", EVEN for suggesting the "fixes" in the first place...
...then to ACTUALLY choose one??????
But there we have it, folks.
This is how the "debt talks" look in real life...
