If you have run up your personal credit card to its max, then is the solution just to get a higher limit?

Liberals, for some reason, think that debt, loans, and the economy work differently for government than it does for you and I so you're talking to a brick wall, in fact, talking to a brick wall might actually be easier. Either they lack the common sense to realize there is cause and affect or they simple don't care and they want to destroy the monetary system on purpose, it's plain and simple. Printing money causes the dollar to go down and inflation to go up. Increasing the debt ceiling allows for more spending and an eventual collapse of our government and the US goes bankrupt. Tim Geithner actually just said that the Obama administration wants to "raise taxes on small businesses to prevent government from shrinking." They are clueless.
