Many of us don’t get to put off paying bills or lift our debt ceiling via threat of throwing a tantrum or simply because we won’t take “no” for an answer.  Most of us have to live by strict rules of paying our bills or paying the price for failure to do so.  Why then does the government get a free ride on their responsibility and leave us negatively affected by their failure to live up to it?

When the dust settles, will the all-knowing supporters of ObamaCare finally see all that was in that bill that they didn’t read or understand?  They, too, should have to shoulder the very same cost the rest of us do and receive medical care equal to the lowliest of citizens.  If it is good enough for us — it is good enough for the government people who forced it upon us.  It’s time they pay for the choices they make, rather than getting the free ride and leaving us stuck with their grievous and unnecessary mistakes.

Maybe if those failing to represent the people have to share in the results of their carelessness and disregard, they will no longer be so careless and have some regard for the outcome.  Maybe then, they will understand the extent and seriousness of the “fiscal cliff” fall-out and come to realize — this isn’t a game!  This is real life with real consequences affecting real people!

Game over.  Time to stop playing make-believe.
