Dedication to Family and Friends

I want to start off by giving thanks to the creator of life, no matter what religion people believe, we are blessed to  be the dominance of life form as we know. In this holiday season America, in my opinion has a lot of reason to be thankful. Some of those reasons, are based on Deliberation for years of pain, and sorrow, due to the events of September 11,. So my prayers goes out to those families across the world, I pray peace upon your households and hearts, pray for the rehabilitation for humanity, that one day as humans we start to care about another ones life. With that said I want to share my gratitude of thanks.


I am thankful for so many things, especially my FAMILY. I have been away from them for so many years in my life and they still encourage me to continue to improve the quality of my life. If any of my family ever read this I want them to know that I couldn't have done what I have done without you. Through All the ups and downs, tears and sorrows you guys have always been my rock. Some people are born into great financial situations, and opportunities, Everything that we have today within my family has been because of failures, hard work, dedication, and most of all love. Growing up I hated my childhood, because I based it on all the financial luxuries I didn't have. But, now that I am older I look back and see that I was ignorant to a great lesson/blessing I was raised around. Now, that I have a family of my own, my kids has never seen the struggle I have gone through when I was a child. I don't know how some of you have grown up but, i'm sure you can find things in your past that you can truly be thankful for in your life now.


I am also thankful for my Friends, I know in this world today it is hard to find a great friend, especially with words out there like: hatred, betrayal, untrustworthy, spiteful, etc. Y'all get my drift.. But, I have come across in my life some wonderful friends. First lets break down some key meanings of a friend.


A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.


One who supports or sympathizes with.


An ally in a fight or cause; supporter.


To add a little bit more, the definition of a best friend, a person someone shares extremely strong interpersonal ties with as a friend. 


Biblical Definitions of a Friend. 


John 15:13  Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

The U.S. Debt Ceiling Crises

As we know the federal government can pay for expenditures only if Congress has approved the expenditures. If the total expenditure exceeds revenues collected then there is a deficit within the budget, and the only way that can be paid then is through the Department of Treasury to borrow the shortfall amount by the issue of debt instruments. The federal law states that there is a borrow limit for the government which is set by the debt ceiling, which only can be increased by a vote from Congress.

As of May 2011, based on Wikipedia, approximately 40 percent of US government spending relied on borrowed money. By raising the debt ceiling allowed the federal government to continue to borrow more to support current spending levels. If the debt ceiling had not been raised, the federal government would have had to cut spending immediately by 40 percent, affecting many daily operations of the government, besides the impact on the domestic and international economies.

With that said, Who's at fault, and how do we fix this $14,952,275,165,133.20 debt?
