Fvck's sake. There will be no default of the United States because of this. The whole thing is a joke. The US will not voluntarily default on its debt. You're worrying about nothing, you might as well worry about a shark attack while hiking in Arizona.

What round for Arizonian sharks? Are we talking bear sized here or what?
 
I thought the government would not fail to pay anyone their benefits because of this? That's what we're being told, that this whole debt ceiling issue is meaningless because the government can operate for a long time without it and no one will go without. If so, why even speculate about rioting?

Won't be any rioting of course and you and I know it. Well there could be for effect but not out of need. I suppose they could cash out some of the gold reserve. That should drive some people crazy 😉

The Arizonian land shark requires an armor piercing round. They have an incredibly thick hide, as necessitated by the environment to avoid cactus punctures and also to retain water.

Not possible. Ron Paul said Fort Knox is empty.

made me lol


*I* am not worrying about it. I know we won't default so long as BOBO does his job....we have the cash to pay all of our real obligations. but how many people are simply going to freak out because they don't understand it?
 
Yep we should cut those on the dole, anyone drawing a government salary including those in Washington, active military, defense contractors, etc... However those recieving bennies from SS and Medicare are NOT on the dole, they are recieving EARNED benifits from seperately funded programs that actually have nothing to do with deficit spending.

The republicans would love for you to believe that paying SS and medicare benifits is deficit spending but thats just misdirection. Is there problems with the long term solvency of these programs? Abosolutely, but linking these problems to our deficit spending problem is republican subtrafuge in an attempt to attack these social programs that they hate and the majority of Americans love. Claiming these programs are a part of our spending problem is just plain wrong.

The republicans? You must have conveniently forgotten when Obama threatened SS payments may not be made if the debt ceiling is not raised.

I'd have said no but then they rioted in LA over some movie screening yesterday so who knows! The media sure won't shut up about this, it's like an asteroid is going to his us in 5 days and kill everybody.
