National Debt Crisis

I believe that the United States government needs to start changing things if we want America’s future to look better. The first thing I believe that needs to really change is for the Obama administration and the Republicans and Democrats to work on getting us out of debt. One of the plans had the idea of raising 15 cents a gallon on the federal gasoline tax, and another idea was to raise the retirement age for Social Security to possibly 69. I think that it is good that they are coming up with ideas to get America out of debt, but they are going to have to do more because people in office can’t accept the Social Security and spending cuts. Also I believe that both the Republicans and Democrats are so worried about reelection no one wants do anything. The Democrats and Obama need to show America that they are serious about their pledge of long term deficits and the Republicans need to show that they are willing to consider tax increases. I believe that the debt is one of the most important things holding this country back and we are going to need strong leaders to help us overcome the debt. I believe that the U.S. needs to stop wasting money on stupid activities and projects. One problem that needs to stop is the government continuing its uninhibited spending, and they need to stop wasting and spending money more than what the government takes in resulting in inflation. We need to start coming up with ideas to fix our debt instead of blowing it off because if we don’t start now it is going to be a big problem in the future.
