Now its time for this week Final Thought, where we ask you to speak out on today’s important topics.

Last week’s final thought: Should Congress Raise The Debt Ceiling For the 11^th Straight Time in 11 Years?

An overwhelming 90% of you voted that the debt ceiling should not be raised and instead the Federal government should have to learn to live within its means…

Paul said: No The debt limit should not be raised. Live within your means like the rest of us.

Ron from Washington said: We cannot spend our way out of debt or into prosperity.

Thanks for all of the comments.

This week, I want to know what you think about all of this talk about states looking to file for bankruptcy. Currently, the law only allows cities to file for bankruptcy protection. But with all of the fiscal problems that states are experiencing, they are seeking some form of relief and now apparently bankruptcy is being considered as a possible option.

So here’s this week’s question: Do you think that States should be allowed to file for bankruptcy protection?

We will report back to you with the results on next week’s program.
