So, the August 2nd deadline is a lie then?
Well, it will be Ramadan.
How about money for ACORN? Do we have any money for ACORN? You know we gotta buy those votes!
There’s something about the debt limit that REALLY affects people...maybe, just maybe, the Republicans will hold their ground.
...even if giving Obama the store the last few times weakened their hand.
The Aug 2nd deadline is a scam..........Nothing will happen, just like Y2K........
Just one of the facts that the republicans should have been shouting out for the last few months. But instead of that our stupid house leader is talking about how worried he is that the US will default. He knows better, but his real agenda is hidden. And most of the sheeple don’t have a clue.
“Shared Sacrifice”
Since Obama likes to talk about “shared sacrifice,” my question is, when are Obama and his fellow Federal Employees going to start Sharing Sacrifice? How about rolling back last year’s massive increases and laying off 9.2% of THEM????
And cut Obama’s jet fuel allotment to 5% BELOW the previous administration (just to show he’s more serious than George W).
Its late and I’m tired but where in yr article do you mention the govt using federal worker retirment savings to fund government operations?
I believe since turbo tax timmy tapped the debt limit, he has blown through about $200 Billion from the civil service/military retirement savings plan TSP “G” fund (401K equivalent, a contributory fund paid in by federal workers and military for retirement)
Our civil service/military retirement savings the govt seized is being replaced by IOU’s, to be paid back with interest when the debt ceilign is raised. It will be all spent, I believe, by about...August 2.
Ho Ho Ho
Hussein claimed recently “only” $666 billion of the PORKulus money was spent. So let’s cancel the remaing amount.
The US government has no real concept of how to account for anything. (e.g. See their definition of “investment”)
Not paying DOD vendors is not a good solution. However, the info that we would be only 200 billion or so in the red instead of 1 trillion 200 billion in the red is amazing.
One has to ask who is getting the other trillion dollars, if all interest, all entitlements, all military and fed workers, and all the major departments have their bills paid with only a 200 billion per year deficit.
The polidiots, all of them, make it sound as if we cannot make our debt payments if we don’t take on more debt to do so.
What they really are saying is that unless we take on more debt they cannot spend more money on social projects.
I have had enough of this government.
