leadership
This week, my school started to repave parking lots used by employees and students. This event has displaced about three hundred parking spots where we barely started with enough parking spaces. To add to the parking space frustrations, there isn't enough police coordinators or buses. This means that people are parking wherever they want and having to wait outside in the heat (>90F) for more than 30min for a bus. Then, in two weeks, the students come back, additional 200-300 people. This morning, I was contemplating if this issue would be more on the school leadership's mind if they were the ones having to park further away and riding the bus or if the faculty's and executive staff's parking was infringed upon.
The correlation to the current debt crisis is the same. I am resigned to the fact that politics is more important than the good of the country. Leaders can be ignorant to the problems that they can cause for others. Instead, in both my school and country, I will wait for the swelling of anger and frustration that will sweep inevitably.
I would guess the Treasury to which we write our tax checks would keep a good account of what is coming in.
“Tax receipts were as expected for June and July,” Treasury spokeswoman Colleen Murray said in a statement to POLITICO on Wednesday afternoon. “The fact remains the U.S. will exhaust borrowing authority on August 2nd and after that date there is no way to guarantee we will be able to meet all of the nation’s obligations.” - Treasury Department: Tuesday's debt ceiling deadline is real
