The Decatur Daily's position may be measured by its willingness to oppose an increase in the debt ceiling. Control over spending requires the cessation of borrowing more than is received into the U. S. Treasury. It is here that the Daily's stance will become inconsistent with today's editorial. This ploy, focuses on a small, conservative drop of water in an otherwise monstrous liberal tsunami spending wave, and is intended to falsely project a sense of neutrality, albeit clumsily timed given the Daily's years long Democrat Party stance. Like Greece, our accumulated debt is now roughly equal to our gross domestic product. The Decatur Daily has, and, will continue to, support raising the debt limit, (i.e. profligate spending), in the furtherance of Democrat Party and union objectives. Opposition to spending reductions will be labelled racism. Those who seek Wednesday's news on Tuesday may return to the comment section tomorrow.

Oops, the last sentence should read, "Opposition to raising the ceiling will be labelled racism." The commenter regrets this error and is happy to set the record straight.

The USPS is ill-managed, in massive debt, and unnecessary in the 21st century. It needs to go the way of the Pony Express.

What OTIS comments says in a nutshell is..."The Daily is right on this one."

Here's a good one in Alabama, We raid the trust because we are broke,but we build art centers.

The GOPers are now the good ole boys, bad managers.

Gail, culture in the form of art centers is an important part of any community. Although it appears to some to be of no significance to the economy, potential industries who are potential job providers consider the cultural atmosphere of an area along with other factors in locating a facility there. So aside from expanding our knowledge and appreciation of the human experience art centers have the practical purpose of providing more jobs to our area and we all want that...
