Hi, this is TheCandidConservative with today’s minute on cliff dwellers…

Its true America is racing toward a cliff. That’s been true since we decided to make war with borrowed dollars, create benefits with borrowed dollars, and pay for borrowed dollars with more borrowed dollars. When did America become immune from reality and natural law? For a view into Washington’s dysfunction, remember this cliff was put in place by Congress in 2011 as a bi-partisan debt deal. It was heralded as a good thing.  Postponement is about avoidance of accountability. That’s never good.  As individuals, we’re not duty bound to jump or pretend everything’s peachy. Now is a great time to live within our means, pay off debt, and filter our days through maturity, responsibility, and hard work. It’s not about preparing for doom so much as taking charge of our own destiny. Let the “rescue me” cliff dwellers play follow the leader.  Conservatives are advised to keep heads, hearts, bodies, and spirits firmly grounded in reality.    

I’m Dr. Carl Mumpower and you just spent a minute with a candid conservative…
