As an ordinary American, I am less than thrilled with congress and the job they are doing. Our national debt is out of control and the congress seems unable to do anything about it. To me, the answer is simple. We must cut spending as well as increase certain taxes. Other words, both sides must give a little.
The president is doing what he can to solve the issue, but he needs co-operation from both sides of the congress. I hope congress will let go of their party politics and work to solve the issue.
