His predictions however, were no more wrong than the dire predictions of economic doom that were supposed to occur if Congress failed to raise the debt ceiling. Just as the world didn’t come to an end on May 21st, neither did the world economy collapse on May 16th. Nearly a month after the dreaded debt ceiling was reached, the world is still spinning, the sun continues to rise in the east, and Anthony Weiner’s lack of common sense and decency are interesting enough to capture the headlines.

It took a near electoral revolution for the Dems to even admit the debt might be a problem. They are having such a hard time transitioning from hazy dreams to reality. Bless their little hearts.

Jim, you're right, the word is irresponsible.
