Robert Spendlove, senior vice president and economist with Zions Bank, says Alexander Hamilton ideas are why the Washington DC is able to continually raise our debt ceiling and not run the government's finances like we run our households.

Hamilton's plan was for the government to buy all bonds issued by both the national and state governments before 1789. And then to issue new bonds to pay off the old debts.  

Susan Speirs, CEO of Utah Association of CPAs, says we need take personal responsibility for how we save and spend our money.  And get out and vote if you want to change what's happening in Washington DC.
