High Five

As a current resident of the District I have a professional knowledge of our national debt ceiling talks and the cut/cap/balance or budget amendment talks. Just by breathing the same sick humid stifling air the politicians breathe, I gain understanding. And that understanding is limited. Nobody knows what will happen. There's the actual discussion about what the H we're going to do about our debt and budget, etc; then there's the discussion about party politics. The discussion is turning to the dearth of leadership on both the Republican and Democrat side. This discussion is proving the leading party in the House, the Republicans, to be a sort of weak and disunited party. This is an exciting time to be here. Luckily I will be flying out a few miles in front of the proverbial mushroom cloud that could occur if our government fails to do whatever they need to do. New perspectives for sure.
