My Pledge: To Vote Against Anyone Who Votes to Raise Debt Limit More Than $1 Trillion

For the record, I will vote in the primary against any Congressman or Senator or President who raises the debt ceiling more than $1 trillion. I'm a reasonable man- another trillion in debt should buy our nation another year, which should be enough time to get a better handle on the annual deficits and maybe the Democrats will even do their job and produce a budget of some kind.

But our nation can only escape collapse if it stops taking the wealth from citizens. The means that it can not raise taxes in any way, and it can no longer sell debt which only takes credit and wealth out of our system.

Any 'future spending cuts' or 'fantasy entitlement reforms' mean very little to me, because I don't trust Democrats or Republicans to actually implement them (Democrats because when they promise these things they are lying and do not intend to do anything of the sort, and Republicans because when they promise these things they lack the strength to deliver on them). The only thing that matters is raising the debt limit, and I'm okay with that being raised $1 trillion dollars.

A balanced budget amendment would have been neat to have, but again, the only thing that matters to me is that our debt to GDP ratio does not go about 100%, and the only way that happens if it the debt limit stays under $15.5 trillion, which is a raise of $1 trillion dollars.

Of course, in the general election, I'll have to consider other factors, such as whether a RINO is better than a communist, but in the primary, I pledge to vote against Congressman Peters, Senator Levin, Sentator Stabenow, and President Obama if any of them vote to raise the debt limit more than $1 trillion.

The rest of you can do whatever the heck you want, but this is the pledge that I am making and will hold myself to.
