what I dont understand is that we're being told we're out of money. In debt. They want to raise the debt ceiling so that they can spend more money, right?

I'm starting to think both sides of our government dont understand the definition of the word "debt".

1. something that is owed or that one is bound to pay to or perform for another

2. a liability or obligation to pay or render something

If we're in debt, we have no more money. How can we keep spending money we dont have? If I could use the governments logic regarding money, then I'd be able to buy myself a new computer and all the yarn I can crochet, and I wouldnt have to have any actual cash.

But then again, we are talking about the government...which never makes any sense anyways. They just do what they want, when they want...no matter whether or not they belong to one political party or the other. They're just going to do it anyways. What part of "broke" do they not understand?
