Americans see it for what it is ,and sum it up in a pithy nutshell. Maybe those trapped in the Beltway Bubble can understand this: You can’t keep kicking the can down the road.
Just keep on kicking the can down the road: House votes to avert debt crisis, allow government borrowing through May 18th

Ha! Being responsible and living within one’s means is for suckers, according to those in Washington, D.C.
@jimantle I can't believe the "can" has not deteriorated into a rusty piece of dust by now.
