To the OP:

You purport to be a retired member of the Officer ranks in the military (USMC, IIRC).

As a loyal American I thank you for your service to our country. I only have one complaint:

I WANT MY FUCKIN' MONEY BACK!!!

Seriously, after all the money we Americans have paid for your education, training and salary over your career... AND THIS IS WHAT WE GET?!?!?! We would, as a country, have been better off just giving the money to Bernie Madoff or Lehman Bros.
 
Why 2 AUG?

I believe treasury has calculated/forcast cash receipts and expenditure and on that date we will exhaust reserves and need loans (because expected receipts will be too low) to provide the necessary cash to pay all bills.

I.e., it's the date they predict we'll be in a cash crunch and loans will be necessary.

Well said and I agree.

However, that does not mean default. What it would force our Fool, Bobo, the Post Turtle, to do is do what he hates to do, make a decision. After 2 AUG it is, with no further funding via loans, up to the President as to what gets paid and what does not. He can't vote "present" on this one.
 
Is the name in your profile of your previous account really your name?

I do not have any other account on this site other than the one....a777pilot. If you think I do, please, let me and this site's Administrator know. Having two active accounts is grounds for banishment, is it not?

Didn't you just say you did in this thread?

I had one other user name....bluebunny....but that was years ago. I post on many sites, all as a777pilot.

I don't care if you have seventeen inactive accounts, but, if I were you, I'd take your real name out of your other handle.

I'm sorry that was my error. I did have one other account, for a total of two accounts, on another site(Texas Fishing Forum), not this one. That was only for a short time and has been inactive for years.

I should have been clearer.
 
Could you explain why you refer to him as Bobo the post turtle? Just curious

Oh, goodie. I love to be asked that. Then I get to post this:

How do you know?

Why don't you go there now. Tell me then I will go there again and see if I am listed just before you.

A little experiment, if you will.
How do I know? When I linked it earlier, your current account (a777pilot) was not listed. That's how I know.

Really?

Is your name on the list?

Only the last 10 are listed. I could have checked that well before today. Do you know for sure?

What a fucking liar you are. There definitely was not more than 10 names the when I linked it. Your name doesn't go away after so many days/months. And considering you just joined in April 2011........ yeah.
