Demotards need to play this up in the media, how we are vulnerable for an attack. They also need to play the "World Wide Depression" angle if we default. We are after all a nation that basis our conclusions on Sound-Bites and headlines.

There's a interview in Chicago that's on continuous loop with an old lady saying she paid in SS money her whole life and now congress won't let the President send her the money that's there.

If only she knew the money isn't there, never was and congress needs to raise the debt ceiling so the President can borrow more money to pay her.

Reminds me of the degenerate gambler that goes to the barber to ask for $10 to make a bet. The barber says, 'You already owe me $20'. The gambler responds, 'yea but if I don't get the ten, I can't pay your $20'

We anticipate total tax revenues at $2.7 trillion for 2013. Our budget should be under that. Instead of another jury-rig fix of borrowing more money, let's shut down all non-essential government employees/programs, adjust it to run under $2.7 trillion, raise the debt ceiling and then re-start it. Until then let's pass a 3-month essential spending bill and let congress and the senate to get to work.

It's going to be painful but imagine the pain of interest payments on a trillion dollars times every year infinitely?

If the President thinks his healthcare program is so essential, let him find a trillion that is less important. Stopping billion dollar programs like destroying cars is a start. This guy spends money like a spoiled kid at Chuckie Cheese and gets the same junk in return.

Congress has absolutely NO incentive since they are getting paid to end this. **** they can even buy puts on the market without going to jail KNOWING that they won't resolve it and push us into default.

well, thank god they at least cut a deal to let the service academies play football saturday. i know people were on edge, holding out hope they could watch navy play air force.
priorities, people!!

and repubs are also up in arms, and asking for an investigation on the oh so important 'who closed the ww2 memorial' issue.

i mean, to heck with fha loans and slowing the recently resurrected housing industry...wic program ending payment, etc. no one cares if people can eat, but by god, they need to be able to get into a monument.


when the govt shuts down, the first thing that should happen is congress gets nothing. no money, no benefits, no perks, nothing.

See the Vets raised a stink and it made headlines. They only address headlines. BAM making his play on the markets tanking if this isn't addressed. If they do sell off it should put sufficient pressure on those holding us hostage. But those holding us hostage (Bloods) also know that come the witching hour BAM absolutely won't willingly throw us into a world wide depression on his watch as it will affect his Crips of getting elected and he will invoke his powers under the 14th amendment at which times the Bloods will start impeachment proceedings. Geez I wish they would resort to guns and knives like normal gangsters and leave us out of it.
