The Debt Limit Dance

May 24, 2023 by Sri Melethil Leave a Comment

The insane, ritualistic and potentially disastrous economic dance of destruction has been going on in earnest for the last several days.

The disagreement centers around two issues: 1. One must pay one’s bills. 2. One must live within one’s means. Even little kids know these basic truths. But the negotiating team led by a senior adult on one side and by a relatively younger adult on the opposing side, our national leaders (I know I am being generous), don’t want to simultaneously grasp both truths.

If history is any indication, one minute before the proverbial tomorrow a comprise will be reached, and each side will proclaim victory to their respective constituents, who have often scratched their heads wondering why and how they entrusted their overall well being to such individuals.

If they can’t reach a compromise by the fast approaching deadline, then, tomorrow will really be a bad day.

Briefly, I am a pharmaceutical scientist, university professor (retired), and a patent attorney. I have also tutored 4th-11th graders in math. My CV (see link below) will tell you more about me. I created this website mostly for educational and informational purposes (please visit the publication section). Hopefully, you will find these writings useful. And, yes, if somebody can use my “skill sets”, as Liam Neeson of the “Taken” movies’ fame might say, that will be wonderful too! I can’t wait for his next movie! Really.
