Our Future is in Their Hands
August 01, 2011 by Jeff Winters
I’ve posted a couple of blogs because of the inability of our elected officials to put their partisan politics aside and negotiate a compromise on a budget that gets the American economy moving in the right direction. Much has been written about the debt ceiling, but exactly what is it?
 
The government borrows money to make up the difference between what it pays and what it takes in, and the debt ceiling is a cap set by Congress on the amount of debt the federal government can legally borrow. The cap applies to debt owed to the public (anyone who buys U.S. bonds) plus debt owed to federal government trust funds such as those for Social Security and Medicare. It is also money the country has already borrowed by issuing bonds and treasury bills to pay for programs we have funded in the past.
 
Some of the Consequences of an ill-conceived plan could range from higher interest rates for all consumer loans, job furloughs, closed national parks and another blow to a fragile economy. The numbers are large and the problems are complicated, but the issue is important for all Americans to understand.
 
Please, let’s put the pressure on our elected officials to stop the bickering and get the job done.
