I think a fitting metaphor for our federal government without a debt limit is the situation at the Louisiana Walmart this week when the people found out there was no limit on their EBT cards.
A debt limit is there for a reason, but our debt ceiling has become a joke. If my family reaches the limit on our credit card, the five of us can't vote to raise it.
What we need is an amendment to the Constitution that requires a balanced budget. You want a war? Pay for it. You want socialized medicine? Pay for it. You want entitlements? Pay for them.
If this means tax increases, so be it. (Although, in my opinion, this not the best solution for an economy that is already in shambles.) But this generation needs to pay for its own stuff and not keep passing it off to future generations.
