Senate Forced To Call For More Debt

News:
Today the Senate voted to increase the national debt ceiling to nearly $9,000,000,000,000 (that’s nine trillion to you and me). The $781 billion increase is the fourth since President Bush took office, and was necessary to narrowly avert what would have been the first default ever on United States Treasury notes. Dissent within the Republican party continues to grow, with some GOP lawmakers furious that the party's leaders are officially calling for more debt, thereby giving Democrats a prime opportunity to highlight the president's fiscally irresponsible policies .

a solution for the new debt

Okay -- The government has allowed Corporations
to basically raid pension funds, line their
pockets and jump with golden parachutes.
We need to reverse the process, and immediately
take away the pensions from Congress and the
Senate. We also need to take away the Secret Service
protection former presidents and their families
get.
We also need to bill the long-term representatives
and make them pay BACK any car leases, gas charges,
cell phones, airfare back and forth to functions -
any perks they have given themselves, while jamming
it to the middle-class voters.
Also, any company that did not bid for contracts,
should account for every single cent of money
given to them, and if it's found that they did
not do what was promised, they be fined, and
have their assets seized to the tune of the original
contract.
