Michele was by far the most brilliant. But what do we do with winners in the Brave New US?

Consider the context: A little over four years ago we were just over $8 trillion in debt. We are now $15 trillion in debt…. Now we’re talking about adding… another $11 trillion in debt…. All that [the members of the Super-committee] were asked to do was cut back on $1.2 trillion of that increase in debt. We aren’t even talking about the central issue, which is balancing the budget. We need to balance the budget, and then chip away at the debt…. What we need to realize is that when we are sending interest money over to China, with whom we are highly in hock, we’re not just sending our money; we’re sending our power. What will happen is that our national security and our military will decrease, and our money will increase China’s military…. That should give every American pause.”
