Debt Deal Reached

Global markets are on the rise in response to a deal between President Obama and congressional Republicans on the debt. The deal would cut more than $2 trillion from federal spending over a decade. However, most economists think this isn't enough and does not remove the threat that the nation's AAA credit rating could be downgraded.

Re:Could Someone Help Me Out With This?

I wish you would stop pushing your morals on the rest of us. You're just as bad as the Christians, deciding what you think is right and using force to make us all fall in line. All this "Love thy brother" and "treat others as you wish to be treated" nonsense is straight from the Bible too! It's disgusting.

Personally, I'm of the belief that social security and government programs of the sort are society's way of abdicating responsibility for their neighbors. "It's not my fault my neighbor is starving, its the governments!" It's a lot easier not to be involved in charities if you feel like you've been forced to give to one every time you get paid.
