Dave Ramsey, unimpressed by the so-called "deep cuts" proposed by Congress, explains it in terms of our personal debt - something most of us can relate to:
“As a direct ratio, we make $58,000 a year, we’re spending $75,000 per year, and we’re proposing “big cuts” to $72,000 a year.” ~ Dave Ramsey
Ramsey says it took us from 1776 to 2008 to get to $9 trillion. From 2008 to present we have added $4 trillion!
This is more than a trillion dollars per year of debt slide.
More from Dave Ramsey (audio).
Ramsey says "This is cause for a political revolution". He says Republicans and Democrats have both got us into this situation and we need to act in a bipartisan manner to fix it. As he put it:
"You have to fire these people."
So I ask myself, would I vote against my party to clean house in Washington, DC? Answer: Yes.
