Discussion about
If the teabaggers in the House of Reps. don't raise the debt ceiling, the U.S. will default on its debt, lose our AAA credit rating, and see a massive recession or even a depression. The ceiling MUST be raised by May 16th. If it's not, things are going to be ugly. Govt. will shut down completely. No police. No military. No nothing. There will be rioting in the streets.

Socialist, we need to work on cheering you up.

You spending your time and energy worrying about stuff doesn't change it. You're like the football fan that yells at the screen thinking the players can hear him.

Just chill and walk away.

Save yourself.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our government's reckless fiscal policies . . . Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

-Senator Barack Obama, 2006

Republicans have forced President Obama's hand, because they refuse to fairly tax the criminal classes. The GOP won't be happy until the United States becomes a middle-tier Third World nation.

I just heard House Leader John BONER saying again, "We have to cut, cut, cut" ~ Yeah, we're in a bad way financially but after we gave the wealthiest amongst us a tax break, anything BONER says is BOGUS.

We do need to cut. And that is why I am so thrilled that Boehner just proposed cutting the defense budget by 10%!

Oh wait, that was Dennis Kucinich. OOPS!

Boehner was one of the strognest supporters of the alternative F-35 engine. Guess whose district the F-35 engine is made in? Boehner's!

What part of my entry is "indefensible"? And precisely why would you characterize it as such?

Governor Cuomo is cutting budgets substantially. Governor Cuomo is a Democrat. Layoffs of NY State workers are happening. So therefore Democrats=jobkillers?
