If I buy it, whether I need it or not, and get a bill asking for timely payments, I do the responsible thing: I pay what I owe. I’m neither a Democrat nor Republican I’m an undeclared progressive conservative with financial common sense. In our current self-induced crisis over our country’s debt ceiling, the Republican House Speaker needs to wipe his lies and hostage games off this table and take a long hard look at spending data dating back to the 1980s, when “trickle-down economics” proponent Ronald Reagan began the Republican Party’s irresponsible, out-of-control spending. But when it comes to America’s debt ceiling and budget negotiations, facts, not lies, need to be on the table. There are some fine politicians “on both sides,” to repeat a tired phrase. I’m not saying that all Republicans are dishonest, because they aren’t, nor am I saying all Democrats are honest, because they aren’t.
