Before I present my solution for global gridlock, let me provide some context.

On June 26, CNN published commentary by Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company.  The title of the article is: "Why the world faces a massive traffic jam".

Here are some of Ford's comments:

Let me introduce a new section of my site:  Logic's 'Liars'!

The section lists the names of well known people and experts whom I consider myself to have outsmarted!

Regular readers of mine know what my daily news commentary is about:

On a daily basis, I provide commentary and "a-ha" moments of insight about a particular news article.

My articles usually expose flaws in others' work.  Such people are often well known, experts or thought leaders in their field, such as:

In light of the debate about the national debt, I've noticed that several sources have been making an incorrect claim about a very serious topic!

On May 12, 1987, The New York Times ran an article titled:

"REAGAN URGES A RISE IN DEBT CEILING".

The article states:

"Warning of dire financial consequences, the White House urged Congress today to raise the national debt ceiling before the Government runs out of authority to borrow money..."

'We cannot overestimate the effect of such a dereliction of duty...'

But a number of conservative Republicans refuse to heed the Administration, and White House legislative strategists say they do not have the votes to assure passage of such a measure."

"The debt ceiling - now at $2.3 trillion - is the amount of money the Government is allowed to owe its creditors."

"The problem is that conservative Republicans have never been eager to raise the debt limit, and see the vote as an opportunity to assail the Democrats as big spenders."


Sound familiar?

Today, Fox News reported:

Today, CNN reported: 

"China spoke out strongly Sunday against a meeting between U.S. President Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama, saying it 'hurt the feelings of the Chinese people and harmed Sino-U.S. relations.'

'This action seriously interfered with China's internal affairs,' said Ma Zhaoxu, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, in a statement, adding that officials have lodged formal complaints with their U.S. counterparts in Beijing and Washington."

Awwwwwwwww.  China's feelings were "hurt"?  US-Chinese relations were "harmed"?  Obama was meddling in China's internal affairs?

Good for Obama.  That's the very least he can do!

After all, China certainly deserves it.  Considering how China has treated America, China more than deserves it!

Consider:

Does the American public have any good ideas for reducing the national debt?  We will soon find out.

Let me first provide you with some context for my article:

First, let me provide some context for my article.

Regular readers of mine know that I very much dislike Obama.  I dislike Obama because his policies tend to be illogical and harmful to America.  I dislike Obama because of the people he has associated with and hired: People with disturbing histories.  In fact, I've written a six part expose showing just how troubling it is that Americans actually voted for him.

Although Obama usually acts illogically (well, only illogically if one assumes he wants the best for America!), he sometimes does act logical.  I think it's important for me to highlight some of these instances!  After all, I aim to call it like it is, to be unbiased:  "Not Liberal.  Not Conservative.  Just Logical."

Something he's done recently is plausibly logical:

On Tuesday, CNN reported the latest developments surrounding the debt ceiling "crisis":

"Partisan warfare over the looming debt ceiling crisis escalated Tuesday as GOP leaders once again refused to consider any tax hikes and President Barack Obama warned that, absent a deal, he can't guarantee older Americans will continue receiving Social Security checks next month.

'There may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it,' Obama said, according to excerpts of a CBS News interview scheduled to air Tuesday night."


For regular readers of mine, such talk about Social Security shouldn't be surprising.  After all, on January 23, 2011, I published the following article:
