The Debt Ceiling Stupidity

Every night we watch the news and grow more and more disgusted with some of the politicians in Washington, D.C just like everyone else.
 - Although both sides need to work together and come to a compromise, (THINK ABOUT THIS:) you CAN'T balance the budget by cutting bills only. You need MORE INCOME. That's why people get a SECOND JOB!  - So, that's why the Republican party's refusal to increase taxes on those making over $250,000 annually is Stupid.  (People making over $250k pay tax rates back to year 2001 levels - and wouldn't YOU like your taxes to be back at 2001 levels?) 
  I wrote to senators in various states that I lived in- and who are the Biggest offenders and fools: Kentucky and Florida. The Maryland senators support a balance of cuts and tax increases- That's how it should be.
 - Do you know anyone on Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security? I know quite a number of friends and relatives that live on those benefits. Under the Republican Party plan- they will be Reduced and Cut!  What the hell? 
  What is the benefit for the GOP to cater only to the rich?  I don't understand. The Republican Party has proven they're only supporting big corporations and people who make more then $250K. If you don't fall in any of those categories and you vote for Republicans in the next election, you're simply voting for your own financial demise.
