This article was initially posted October 15, 2013, but withdrawn. Late on October 16, 2013, Congress agreed on a means to open government and raise the statutory debt limit, for a short time. Now, this article reminds how close U.S. came to default, and desperation of American circumstance. Should this circumstance be revisited, a violation of trust between those elected by people and those who elect people will occur.
No one outside of Washington finds charm in what occurred, regardless of blame, or party. Such matters are the business of those elected and expected in their course of business, regardless of party affiliation. When February, 2014 arrives, elected negotiating parties need to realize the lives of those they represent.

Solving U.S. Debt issue isn't recreational at all. Nor is it intramural sports as Republicans and Democrats pretend. It's not even fun politics, or a weird reality tv show. It's not House of Representatives being Kardashians, versus Senate as Hiltons'.
Frank reality is in real America waking up every day early to feed their kids. That is where America starts its day.
All Americans then deliver their children to school, and go off to work. While at work, parents have to deal with increasing earnings objectives of their employers every day. Children have to deal with newest learning objectives popular with political party in control.
America deals with these demands, every step of every day. Why can't Congress and the Presidency deal in like manner with their job. Why can't they deal with what's needed.
Debt default tells of a failed nation, mired in blame and conflict. Blame, failure and conflict is where Senate Chamber and House Chamber bring this country. It is two Chambers of American Governance..... In Failure.
This country has pride, in spite of and in despite of politicians.
For the sake of God, Main Street does not want to explore, nor has the capacity to explore, a failed U.S. Government.
