Throw the Rascals Out - Clean Sweep

I am pretty sure that our nations political leaders will strike a bargain to keep the country from defaulting. It may just be a deal to kick the decision down the road, or they may reach a decision that will bring the budget back into balance.  The budget was balanced for a few years during the Clinton administration. It is tougher now though because the recession is so deep and our country is aging with fewer current workers to pay for the elderly and poor.


The correct deal involves both painful program cuts and tax increases. Not fun or easy but must be done.


In the event they do not reach a deal I think we should throw the rascals out - Democrats and Republicans.  We need some pragmatic people in government.
