Care to offer an opinion?
Let's have an Internet town meeting.
Tell us your view of the debt ceiling crisis. How would you solve the problem? How would you vote on the bills facing U.S. representatives? How do you feel about 4th district Congressman Jim Jordan's approach toward these issues? Then, there's the notice that the Republicans may redistrict the 4th district out of existence to polish Jordan for his flight with the party establishment. What are your thoughts on that?
Simply respond to this column. We'll take it from there.

What is needed is a sliding tax scale: those who have little to pay, pay little; those who can, pay more. Give small businesses a break in there to help them continue to shore up the economy. Republicans and Democrats alike need to compromise on this matter and pronto.
The Democrats' stubbornness is not useful; the Republicans' insistence on writing in another vote in six months is just a dirty trick to try to win them points in future elections and further proof that their methods in general do not benefit the common man, just the rich.
I totally agree with you. My mother always said "you can't squeeze blood from a turnip" and in this case the middle class and social programs for the needy are the turnip. The government has taken all they can and we are squeezed dry. If you need money, go to the people who have most of it.
