Can't dig out of the hole

AP: Democrats plan nearly $2 trillion debt limit hike.
Reminds me of a song...

Deeper and deeper he's going down
Driving his future right into the ground
He thinks he's closer the further he goes
But he's still on the bottom
And he can't dig out of the hole.
I tried to throw the man a life line
I tried to send him down a rope
I don't think he hears me calling
But everyday I pray and hope
Somehow he finally gets the message
Every spade of dirt he throws
Only gets him closer to the devil
And he can't dig out of the hole
- Randy Travis, "The Hole"
