Speaker Boehner has not yielded on increasing the national debt limit without corresponding spending cuts. He has agreed to meet Obama on the links on Sunday, we’ll see if anything gets worked out I guess. I hope it doesn’t. Anything that Obama agrees to will likely be bad for our country.
The larger issue here is that we are giving foreign aid to countries that are handling large chunks of our national debt. This list is simply astounding. An even larger issue is that we don’t have the extra funds to be tossing around willy-nilly anymore.
