Two in a row

         Today is full of sun, a slight breeze, temperatures in the 70's and not a cloud in the sky.

    Yesterday was the same. Two lovely mid-Spring days in a row.

    All is well in Cheshire.

    But not in our country.

    Some of the idiots we sent to Congress want to block the debt ceiling rise.

    Whether they are right wing Republicans or left wing Democrats they should be drawn and quartered for opposing the debt ceiling rise.

    Don't they understand what going in default would mean for Americans and the whole world?

    Bern and I wouldn't get our Social Security checks.

    The stock market would crash putting my pension--which comes from stocks--in danger.

    But we have enough savings to be ok.

    But lots of folks wouldn't be. Welfare checks and food stamps would dry up. Medicaid and Medicare would not pay. Money from the government for unemployment benefits and payments to children in poverty would go away. Retired vets and active military would not be paid.

    It would be a world wide disaster since the world economy relies heavily on the U.S. economy.

    Don't they understand that this could put the US and much of the world back to Depression-era situations?

    How do you work in Congress and not realize what I realize?

    Has our country become so divided that we are willing to put our civilization at risk?

    God help us all if the debt ceiling isn't raised....
