It's fine to criticize the president, but when pretty much every financial expert ever is using terms like "cataclysmic" to describe what will happen if we hit the debt ceiling, then I'm going to go ahead and believe that we don't want to see what happens should the statutory debt ceiling not be raised.

FYI we hit the debt ceiling a couple months ago. Interest rates didn't budge. As discussed in seperate threads maybe when the State of WI refused the $200 million for hi-speed rail it should have taken more than an hour to announce it will go to Ohio and IL. Of course to this administration it's only chump change! Multiply that by 100's of other needless projects plus a white elephant represented by the new taxes, fees, fines known as Obama care. Where else in the world would a citizen be taxed because he has too good of a health care policy. Taxing cigs and alchohol I understand but taxing a healthcare plan that is considered 'too good', 'a cadilac', 'luxury'
What's next a jogging / workout tax?
