Noonan Hopes Our System isn't Broken
Peggy Noonan makes an excellent point. If our parties can't solve the debt crisis, who needs them?
Peggy Noonan on the debt crisis:
Both parties in Washington have every reason to want to prove they possess the baseline political competence to meet the government's central and pending crisis, which is the spending crisis. Both parties should be eager to reach a debt ceiling agreement, if only to prove the system isn't broken. Because really, they are the system. If it's broken, they're broken, and if they're broken, who needs them?
