My Favorite Twitter & Facebook Debt Ceiling Quotes
I took a few moments this morning to record a couple of the national debt ceiling quotes that caught my eye over the past several weeks. In the endless and overwhelming flow of information that floats around out there…I thought these quotes were seasoned with some wit. It makes me think that these people from all walks of life gave a little thought to what they wrote. I don’t necessarily agree with all of them….but they all made me think. Oh…and I almost forgot…I left these quotes anonymous to protect to innocent and the guilty. However, you can blame me for the cheesy caption under the image.

“DEAR CONGRESS, Last year I mismanaged my funds and this year my family and I cannot decide on a budget. Until we can come to a unified decision that fits all of our needs and interests, we will have to shut down our check book and will no longer be able to pay our taxes. I’m sure you’ll understand. Thank you very much for setting an example we can all follow.”
