RE "The problem here is the old men up there see a loss of spending as a loss of their power and influence, I mean the private jets and little whores go away, if they are no longer able to perform tricks for their K street masters"

That and the US has become a welfare nation where almost everyone is dependent on it one way or the other, And pulling away the candy too fast results in a HUGE tantrum by the voter on election day, and those ELECTED are scared?

The congress people went to D.C. and made themselves rich. They gave themselves the a retirement system regular people could only dream of. And if the government folds, there goes their wealth. That’s why they will continue this crap for as long as possible.

MrChips, a cave will guarantee obama’s re-election. Stand back and watch. That’s why principle is all there is to fight for.
