Kids inherit our debt

Dear editor:

First I would like to comment on Melva J. McKenzie's letter in the July 20 paper.

I fully agree and I love America, too, and I display it on a pole that has a light that automatically goes on at night and off in the morning. It flies 24 hours a day. I replace the flag when it shows signs of wear.

Your letter on raising the debt ceiling that you say we need is wrong. We need to live like a household and live within our means. There is too much spending by our Congress.

This administration is the worst we ever had. There is much they can reduce. For example, Obama, who has a lot of money, can repay the taxpayers for his wife's trip to Africa recently at taxpayer expense. Nobody pays for me to go on vacation.

Obama spends a lot of money he should not have spent. He should pay the taxpayers back for it.

If we raise the debt ceiling we are probably going to spend more, not less. If a child spends all his money his folks give him, he should not be given more. The government must learn to live within its means.

Cut the pay the president, the congress and senate except the ones, fighting to try to do the right thing.

Speaker of the house Boehner seems to know the right things to do. We have to live within our means, Cut the most from the ones who have the most and take their advice on how we can stop making more debt.

I heard President Obama speak on TV to we the people say nonchalantly we raised the debt ceiling once we can do it again. It made me mad at his no care attitude. He does not care about America.

Before he was elected, running for office, he said raising the debt ceiling would hurt our nation. Now because he and others behaved irresponsibly he acts like child that expects the moon.

He wants our children and our grandchildren to suffer and that is not fair to them -- who inherit our mistakes.
