There is the inability of our leadership to just say "forget about it" when their opponents suggest lifting caps, and spending more of our children's soon to be taxed heavily again inheritances.  There is a weakness when it comes to doing the right thing like throwing out a few babies with bathwater.  There is a real lack of courage coming from our Republicans IMO.

But I am not yet giving up.

Sure, I would like to see the cap held. No more! Stop! Cease!  But in the spirit of "compromise" the house gave a little. In fact, the bill sent through would have still allowed a minimum of $2.5 trillion increase in the debt, adding both principle and of course the expected financing measures.

And the senate said nah, not good enough.

So frankly, to heck with them. Its time that Michigan's congressional delegation simply takes a stand. One that is solidly for NO increase in the debt. None. Nada.

"The President's stubborn insistence on raising taxes during a tough economic time is wrongheaded.  We are still in the midst of one of the worst recessions in a generation because of the government's constant threat of the trifecta of higher taxes, excessive regulations, and runaway spending.  Last week's Labor Department report showed more than 14 million Americans are unemployed, the highest number this year, and many are asking where are the President's promised jobs.   Mr. President, I have the answer, and it's found in releasing the constraints on the American people and their exceptionalism.  Tax increases cost jobs.  A serious proposal to get our economy back on track cannot include more taxes for jobs to be created."

So what happens if the debt ceiling is not increased? Why is it important to expand our debt even further to promote a feeling of solvency?  Why is black white, up down, and slow fast?

Tipton, MI- Republican Congressional Candidate and former Congressman Tim Walberg is hosting town hall meetings in Washtenaw, Lenawee, Hillsdale and Jackson counties over the next eight days to rally citizens to common sense patient-centered health care reforms and to remove Mark Schauer from Congress so we can repeal and replace this disastrous health care bill.  More town hall meetings will be announced in the near future.

Walberg says:

"In Congress, I introduced legislation to end lawsuit abuse, allow people to purchase health insurance across state lines, help small businesses afford health insurance and expand the flexibility of health savings accounts, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected those common sense reforms.  Instead, Speaker Pelosi and Mark Schauer have passed a trillion dollar government takeover of health care that will raise costs, increase the national debt, and reduce access to care for seniors."

"I encourage all citizens who want to repeal this big government health care bill to join my campaign so we can remove Mark Schauer from office, repeal the bill and replace with patient-centered health care reforms," added Walberg.
