Debt Ceiling Negotiations
Why not have everyone who NETS (not gross) over $1,000,000.00 put in 20% towards the National Debt (starting with the President). Also, put a freeze on Congress for pay raises, until the debt is paid off. Put that money towards the debt.

I hope you keep the wishes of the majority of Americans who do not want the debt ceiling raised and do not want to pay more income taxes. Let them make do with what they recieve . Do not spend more than they take in. Budget the money properly.

Solution
The solution to this debt problem is simple, and won't hurt anyone. Just stop the foreign aid. Most of the recipients are laughing at us, while enjoying every dollar we send, while American taxpayers are being squeezed to death.

There is a way to win the policy battles over debt and deficit with Obama: do everything openly and put everything in writing. Require, also, that Obama deal with Republicans openly and respond to their proposals in writing.

I am impressed that you are not caving in. Has anyone suggested cutting the entitlements of the President and Congress? We are paying huge amounts for large staff and vacations and travel that is for reelection. Tax payers pay enough already.

I am rather pleasantly surprised that you Republicans have not caved in on the debt ceiling issue. You are to be commended. Do not let the McConnell plan see the light of day. I would rather see the government go belly up. GREAT JOB.

If this is the result of having a two party government, then I will make it a point that I'm out there next election cycle touting it's ills. Republicans have made it clear who they represent and it is not me but the entity I work for.

Don't let McConnel's idea get through...It's another opportunity for a blank Ck for Obama and he'll use it. It's one thing to hopefully get he and his cronies and czars out by the next election but something has to give NOW!

The Republicans say "quit spending money we don't have". We should also quit financing the special interest groups thru ridiculous loopholes & tax breaks supposedly so they can provide jobs. These groups made record profits but where are the jobs?
