hmmm…..
August 2 is the deadline. If Congress doesn’t bring a new balanced budget to the table by that date, then the United States
One financial strategist said, “There’s and old saying that things don’t
matter until the day they matter.” I’m going to chew on that one a bit. I guess that he means that until Congress is down to the last day of the negotiations, it doesn’t really matter what each side does or doesn’t propose.
It’s similar to another old saying, “Don’t trouble trouble ‘til trouble troubles you.” That’s more about faith than anything. It’s believing in people doing the right thing, finding a compromise, and trusting that if God is in charge, a solution will be found.
As hard as it is to do these days, I have to have faith that each side of the budget question is sincere in their efforts to be responsible leaders. Each side has some truth to defend, so it is a matter of finding a common ground. There should be no place in national government for petty self interest, but it seems to sneak into the negotiations at every turn.
My prayer today for Congress and for our President is that they would put aside any prejudicial or self-serving attitudes and sincerely look at what is truly best for our nation. If they were able to do that, I bet that the budget could be balanced in about an hour.
hmmm…..
