Re: [FairfieldLife] Fwd: A Citizen's Guide to the Federal Debt Limit Debate

[Tom Pall]

 SYNOPSIS: With debate over the possible increase of the federal debt limit 
 dominating Congress, will brinksmanship give way to statesmanship?  How 
 should citizens understand this debate? And what constitutional questions are 
 at stake in it?



I'm not going to bother watching the video.  I don't go to most of the
links pointed to in FFL.

I will respond the the synopsis, however.Statesmanship?   That
seems to have died in America a generation ago.   We went from Annie
to Riveter to the hippie generation to Women's Lib to the Me
generation and now with rare exceptions in America, it's all about me.
