Deficit is different than the Debt. The question is not whether to raise the National Debt Ceiling, but, when that need end?

The national deficit is growing smaller. It is still outrageous, but, the question is now that our tax base has increased, when will the need to increase the National Debt Limit end?

When will the USA tax base meet the nation's needs? There has to be an answer to that otherwise we will never move forward beyond a fiscal emergency every year. When is that going to happen and when can Americans have peace of mind about their government spending?

If the American citizen is going to have a sane dialogue with it's government there has to be reasonable questions to ask without fear of the answers. Reality and not rhetoric. Growth that meets the needs of the government and a payment of the National Debt. When does that happen without this disaster of political rhetoric? 

Please tell me this nation of people is capable of making good decisions about their government without resorting to lazy rhetorical postures within their own voting power. That rhetoric is where the people lose control of their government. They lose control of their vote as soon as they cast it if they are willing to be snuffed out with lies from their political choices. People have to understand their government and ask good questions to make good choices.

No more 'running game' on the American people.
