Our government keeps raising the debt ceiling so the politicians can spend more and more of our tax dollars. I would like to see the debt ceiling lowered for the sake of the future generations.

Make this shutdown as painful as possible." They assured millions of government dependents and low-information voters, which after all is where the Democrats get their votes, that they could blame the Republicans. I'm 83 years old, and I can't recall a more stonewalling president up to this one. It's plain that the shutdown belongs to Obama and Harry Reid.
