Decreasing the US Debt Limit

 The idea of raising the debt ceiling is like give someone with a gambling addiction money the only thing that they are going to do with it is use it up till it's gone again. I want to give congress back the full power of the purse as stated in:

Article. I.

Section. 7.

All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill. 

as you have just read all bills for raising the revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives. In 1798 and for approximately 130 years after, Congress had to act each and every time before the US Department of the Treasury could borrow money, meaning that Congress would have to approve each individual Treasury auction of bonds, bills, or notes. Which I think was made that way to keep this from happening, but since World War I, Congress has allowed the Treasury the ability to manage the federal debt in an "efficient and cost-effective" manner. We can see where that has got us I will work to bring the practice of Congress approving each and every Treasury auction.    

President Obama Speaks on Syria

I am glad that he is asking congress to debate and vote if their should be a military intervention on Syria, so my option is that they should vote no on a military intervention and ask the President to wait for a UN Security Council Resolution on the issue of Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons, but if it were up to me I would lead the way and ask the UN Security Council to return a resolution and get more countries to vote for it and support it. We the people of the United States need to find a common ground and support whom ever is in power weather or not you voted for him, because the only way to keep Syria's Civil War from spilling beyond their borders is for the world to unite with middle-eastern countries to help the Syrian people find some kind of peace even if it means splitting the country in evenly between all forces involved in their civil war. I want to here what you all think should happen in Syria.

Where is the rule of law in Nigeria? - Inside Story - Al Jazeera English

Watching this has got me thinking, "Has the USA become to self centered to care what happens with the rest of the world?", Now a lot of people will say that the world's problems aren't our problems, but if we are to survive as a country we need to talk with other nations and acknowledge the views of other nations and come to terms with them in a peaceful alliance that's what the UN is suppose to do, but we can't depend on the UN to help us forge relationships with other nations cause not all nations are members of the NATO alliance we need to start looking towards other ways of dealing with nations and the world in general. I want to know your thoughts on this leave them in the comments, and how would you forge relationships with other nations if you were the leader of your respective country.
