2 RAISE OR NOT RAISE THE DEBT CEILING?

So the government is trying to decide whether or not to raise the debt ceiling in order to keep our society functioning.

This is just crazy.  MTV is one of the most watched television stations in the country.  Back in the 80s they ran PLENTY of ads showing the pitfalls of running up your credit card bills.  And you're going to tell me that not ONE government official saw at least one of these ads?

Maybe the did and just chose to ignore them.  Whatever the case apparently someone dropped the ball and our government maxed out our credit card.

And by the way why won't they tell us if it's VISA or MASTERCARD?  What are they afraid of?

That's okay though.  A little secret:  if it begins with a 4 it is a Visa Card.  If it begins with a 5 it is a Mastercard.  (Just FYI)

So now Geitner wants to raise the debt ceiling to over 14 trillion dollars.  Personally I didn't know you could as for that much credit.  So guess what.  I called my credit card company and asked them straight up, "Can you increase my available credit to 14 trillion dollars?"

Do you know they told me, "No?"

Can you believe that?  I thin there's reverse discrimination going here.  They are considering raising the debt ceiling for Obama who just happens to be black.  I am white but they won't even budge.  I'm trying to buy some new hats too.  I have perfectly good credit.  So what is the problem?  I think it's because I'm white.

Don't get me wrong.  I don't have anything against the president.

Debt ceilings don't make much sense anyway.  My ceiling in my house is dry wall and with my current credit limit, it would max out my credit card to have it raised.  Why would I?  I'm only 5 foot eleven and my ceiling is 8 feet high.  Doesn't make any sense.  Is Obama fifty feet tall?  I can honestly say that I have not studied enough photographs to make that judgment.  I just have to be honest about that.

Biden looks pretty tall.  This all could be because of him.  But I think he also does a part time job with that one comedian that the have on Comedy Central: Jeff Dunham.

I guess his debt is so bad that he did have to start working with comedians just to pay some bills.

I get that.  We shouldn't hold it against him.

So to sum up, if Obama gets his debt ceiling raised, I think it's fair mine should be raise as well.  I will stay in a motel while they do work.  Dry wall usually creates a lot of dust in the house and it's not good to breath.

Anyway, if you agree with me or disagree, please let me know.  Let's put our heads together and if I hear any good ideas I will DEFINITELY forward them to President Obama.  Don't worry.  I'll give you credit.
