Our government gets money from us. The management of that money is just like your personal budget. Money coming in. Money going out. If you spend more than you make, credit card debt increases until you hit your “credit limit”.
Our government reached it’s credit card limit recently. They arbitrarily increased their own limit on credit by several trillion dollars. I wish I could increase my own credit limit! Now the government can spend more money. Things are good! At least until the new credit limit is reached.
The solutions are pretty simple. The government needs to stop spending more money than they have coming in. It is called a budget. It means we need to prioritize our national needs. They’ve promised to cut expenses. Yeah, right.
Next we need to cut up our credit cards. No more increases in national debt. We are drowning in debt.
The government needs to stick to their budget. Do it just like “real” people.
On another note, the mystery to our recent electrical spike has been solved. We have a beautiful red maple tree in our front yard. It has been dropping dead leaves off one side in recent weeks. Upon examination, it looks like lightning struck the tree and killed branches and the front part of the trunk. Now the question is “will our tree survive”? Stay tuned. Ranger Dan is coming to look.
Upon further reflection, the lightning that struck our tree was less than 30 feet from where I was sleeping. It missed me this time.
Love,
Dad
