NO MORE PATTY CAKE WITH THE COMMUNISTS!!!
Shut-er-DOWN!!!
Time once again for the ‘grab-your-ankles’ support of the GOP. Just take it for the team, shut up, and don’t forget to vote for the guy with the ‘R’ after his name.
You can bet Bachmann will be in on this cave-in too.
>on Aug. 2 the U.S. will no longer be able to meet obligations if the legal debt ceiling isn’t raised
I don’t recall America being “obligated” to provide welfare to illegals, save Africa from itself and AIDs and all the other billions
of senseless wasteful and abusive spending. Complete idiots are running and ruining this country.
Johnny Boy forget it!! NO deals Cut the federal budget.
Maybe this is what Sarah’s been waiting for.
Pardon my French, but s**t!
Cornyn needs to go.
I need to stop asking myself that question. We are on a “brink” and I do not like where we are headed.
Many a good people will die, as is, I pray, more evil minded people will be much higher.
I don't see any other way out....except for 2012, Palin/West. I'm betting my whole little tiny insignificant farm on it.
They want their August vacations.
(yawn)
This bogus non-story again?
The lack of balls and backbones in Washington DC is mindboggling....=.=
They will raise the limit. We lose. The kenyan wins. The country loses. The socialist project advances due to the lack of comprehension and cupidity of the Republicans.
There's nothing more pissed off than a democrat fascist who can't indulge in their favorite perversion every weekend. JMHO
Once the interest payment on the debt exceeds GDP, our goose is cooked. We cannot and must not allow that to happen!
If my math is correct, if the debt were spread equally among all Americans, it would amount to approximately $45k per person. Not all of them collect income, however.
My proposal is extremely painful for the short-term, a massive, ONE-TIME draconian tax, retroactive on unearned income, to be paid once and for the purpose of taking a huge chunk out of the principle to reduce future interest. It also involves cutting ObamaCare. Another source is the collection of unpaid student loans.
We have a moral obligation to pay our debts. Moreover, we have an American duty to pay it because the borrower is slave to the lender, and Americans are not slaves!
We've got to look in the mirror and ask ourselves some pretty penetrating question, folks: Which do we value more, our short-term comfort or our long-term freedom?
Anyone else have ideas? Anyone want to default? Print more money?
If the consequences are nil, they had better be right. Any reasonably large monetary issue that could result from a stalemate and add to the deficit will be blamed on the Republicans no matter what.
The MSM will pound the Republicans. Most Indies will be swayed that the dem's were reasonable and it is the Republicans who are the stiff-necked bastards. So much for 2012.
Does the U.S. Treasury Department decide what "obligations" are?
It is my understanding that the US will have more than enough tax revenue to service the debt. There will be no default. There will be MANDATORY cutting of spending if the conservatives do not cave!
Hell NO.
