McConnell: Debt debate 'starts today'
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/01/02/mcconnell-debt-debate-starts-today/


Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is ready to have a debate against Obama. McConnell is disagreeing about how much our government is spending especially government based programs. Basically the article is about how much the government spends/barrows based on our debt.
 What McConnell is proposing about cutting government based programs because they are the reason why we are in much debt is absurd. Some of the programs that the government runs are necessary and useful to to the public. The main reason of our money problems is from the current 16.394 trillion debts from all the money the government is borrowing. How has the country come to so much debt? However, congress will come with a deal that will cut spending as one of their budget resolutions. What congress needs to do, is to create more jobs to help get America out of debts instead of relying on debts and creating more debts.
