AMERICA LOSES "AAA" CREDIT RATING - FIRST TIME IN HISTORY

David Axelrod, a top White House adviser is blaming the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating on Tea Party Republicans. Mr Axelrod says they were unwilling to compromise on how to reduce the federal debt. This clearly resembles the teenager telling the parent that they shouldn't cut the teenagers credit card, they should instead, raise their credit limit, even though the teenager drove them hopelessly, irreversibly into debt.

When my youngest son was very little, he was amazed and fascinated every time we would pull up to the ATM machine. In his young eyes, all he saw was me pulling a card out of my wallet, inserting it into the machine, then not only getting money from the machine, but the machine would give me back my card to use over and over again! WOW!

At one point, he even asked if I would get him a card like that for his birthday. It took a long time to convince him that it was "not" free money that I was getting out of the machine, but only money I had already put into the machine. This current White House and Senate remind me very much of my son at that age, but the only difference is "IT'S NOT CUTE AT ALL" and it is very harmful to America.

It is shocking that we have adult men and women in the liberal democratic dominated Senate and White House that have this same childish view of our ecomony. They see taxes as a "Horn of Plenty" that is an endless supply of money to waste on anything and everything, with no fear of consequences. They didn't work for it, they didn't earn it and have no respect for those who did.

WAKE UP AMERICA! At some point someone has to step up and "Be the Adult". I know after raising 4 children, that being the adult is never a popular position, but thank God the "Tea Party Republicans" have done just that!

Here is the position we are in: Imagine that you made 20,000.00 a year and have a teenager, and he or she takes "your" credit card and has a pretty good time. They call 900 numbers and talk for hours on end having phone sex. Then (with "your" credit card), They get on "your" computer and log on to one of the many popular gambling sites. Now after a month, you finally get the bill of $200,000.00. (again, you only make $20,000.00 a year)

Guess what? "YOU" have to pay for it! The money wasn't spent by you, and you do not get any pleasure from anything that was purchased with it, but you still have to pay for years and years! (Good luck!) What are you going to do? COMPROMISE? REALLY?!?!?! Apparently, that's what David Axelrod would have you do! You are now hopelessly in debt, are you going to let the teenager keep the credit card and tell them their "new" credit limit is $400,000.00?

Does this scenario seem a little far fetched? The truth is, this is literally "nothing" compared to the debt our government has put us into. For the purpose of this scenario, the teenager is the Liberal Democratic dominated Senate and White House, and the Tea Party is the parent.

These two branches of government are so addicted to spending money that is not their own, they will viciously attack anyone who tries to stop them. The Tea Party (parent) has been falsly accused of being racist in the past by this party, and are being compared to "terrorists", even though there has not been one single instance where this party with millions of members, have committed a single racist action, or performed any act of terrorism.

To be "That" addicted to spending other peoples money, that they would attack anyone who tries to make them stop, means these people have a serious problem that requires "Professional Help". (people addicted to drugs, will do anything to get drugs) Just like Drugs and alcohol and gambling are an addiction to many people, spending is an addiction to these people in government. If everyone had access to spending the same as the white House and Senate does, this addiction would surely become an epidemic.

It's time to take back the credit card! Saving these people from themselves will in turn "save us".
