Now, why would the driver be on the wrong side of the road but then he is probably the designated DUI*.*driving under the influence of the rich and their lobbyists.NB The passenger is on a suicide trip with him.
while I think there is a question as to who is in the drivers seat, there really is no time left to dodge and swerve default after watching that juggernaut looming for years.
Ok let’s look at the facts, we will not default unless The Community Organizer, (Obama) and tax cheat littleTimmy Geithner choose to let it happen. Let’s see who gains if we do or if Moody’s and S&P downgrade us, THE BANKERS, the same people who gave The Community Organizer millions in ‘08 and are still giving him money. Interest rates go up, they go up on all, your bank will be downgraded because they hold T-Bonds, 401K’s will be downgraded they hold T-Bonds, those who pull the strings make the Community Organizer dance. The Govment, yes I mis-spelled it on propose, can pay the bills,pay the interest pay SS, and pay employees, maybe we should lay off a few save a buck. This is made up, the resident of the White House, is not a co-equal branch of government, the founders set it up so Congress and the Judicial was more equal the the Pres. The Community Organizer has no skin in the game, he has not put a plan on the table, the Progs, in the Senate have not but up a plan, hell, the Progs didn’t make a budget for over 700 days, so let’s get real. We have gone over the limit already, made them live within their means, we have to, we need to not have our hands out, 70 million checks a month they write? Maybe we could write 60 million or even 50 million, everybody takes a hit, The Community Organizer made the teacher’s union in Indiana eat a bunch over Chrysler’s bonds, it was illegal but what the hell as long as the UAW got their money, their stock and their pensions, it’s all good.
I love how “conservatives” consider being labeled a community organizer as an insult. How dare someone try to organize the local community for the benefit of it’s citizens!As for the notion that Obama and/or the Democrats are the ones refusing to negotiate at the debt ceiling talks, the Dems have agreed to 75% in cuts (AKA compromise from their original plan) and the Republicans have repeatedly walked out (AKA not compromising).
The extremism on both sides is what is driving this stupid debate. My lawyer said it best when I asked him about a point of law, whether it was by law or precedent and he replied “The law makers shall inhibit the earth.” And here we are….
Obama has offered reductions or serious reviews in “entitlements”, budget cuts to most programs, a freeze on federal salaries, and a return to previous tax rates, pre-Bush cuts, with only a 4% increase in the MAXIMUM rate few actually ever pay, and the Republicans have only one offer- NO taxes! I would say the “community organizer” has done a lot more (too much in fact) to seek compromise. Boehner, Cantor, and the TEA party freshman should all stop acting like pledges, and signing pledges, and get something done other than swallowing live goldfish or playing “who can say something even dumber!”
“Lets put it this way. Would pay all that money for your kid to get a degree in Community Organizing???”You really think someone goes to school specifically for a degree in community organizing? Are you that stupid? You get a degree in the subject you love (political science, law, economics, et cetera). You then use that knowledge to help better your community through volunteerism.

A default will hurt the rich more than it will hurt poor people like me.

Yes, they are playing chicken! Only it’s by remote control, and WE – the rest of the country – are strapped in, unable to get out.

Negotiation requires making concessions on ideology. Not offering any form of tax increase is not a concession. Dictionary /spin fail
