Default

[Westside Steve]

Is there anyone here who seriously, honestly and actually believes that there is even a point 000 chance that there will be a default on the part of the United States government? What a crock of shit. Sometimes I wonder how stupid the media thinks we are and I am talking Fox News as well as MSNBC and everybody else. We are hyperventilating over this situation which will come to an end probably at midnight on the 16th of October with some meaningless horse shit compromise and life will go on as it always has. The people who have missed a paycheck or two will get it soon enough and those who got laid off will look at it as a paid vacation. Our debt will continue to soar. Hard to tell whether it's worth the trouble to get pissed off or just shake your head and laugh at yourself for giving a fuck in the first place.

I wouldn't put it at 0, but probably like .001% for the default, there is always a chance that the idiots in there trying to govern don't figure it out.

Is it just me or does boehner and obama sound like a couple of kids fighting over a piece of candy....

According to CNN there are enough votes in the House (200 dems and 17 reps) http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/10/08/votes-are-there-to-break-shutdown-but-not-the-will/?hpt=hp_t1

Sounds to me, like Obamao is committing extortion and racketeering,

and Boehner is telling him "no way we're negotioting with a marxist pig terrorist and his little queefs"...

[Westside Steve]

Actually I think it's probably political. Right now the public really dislikes Obamacare. Unfortunately, like with so many things, worrying about something that's coming is usually worse than when it arrives.

Even if something is bad the longer you have to wait the less worrysome it becomes. You just get bored with being angry. I think the Republicans probably see that window of opportunity slowly closing and want to make some noise before people just give in.

[sadbrownsfan]

I agree steve, though I think it would have been better if they would have bailed out right before a shutdown or shortly after it started(1-2days), saying something along the lines that they had done all they could to stop it but need to get more votes(pointing at 2014/16) to remove it.

Lol, Boehner's just as low as the President. Even his fellow GOP leaders hate him.

the braver thing for the house to do would be to allow the ACA to go forward,

but use the skill of the conservative / libertarian faction of its members to

file suit and prosecute the Obama administration on the grounds of breaking the law / failing to implement the entire law...

by allowing all of the exemptions to go forward like Obama did. this would give the house R's credibility ...

So yes - concede the frickin debt ceiling yet again, and without any concessions by obuma,

Let the people of USA see for themselves just how bad the ACA is.... let the democrats sweat it out...

maybe just maybe the liberal lemming thought process might change here?

and let them (us) decide in 2014? (like 2010)

This is how cal sees the U.S. right now:

You think the US is a bottomless well of government-sponsored despair, so your views line up perfectly with the video.

Hey woodykoalafullofpoopa,

Don't tell other people what they think. It makes you look like

a pile of crap, with less intelligence.

Read the article Kosar posted. I had that sent to me by a friend,

but the link didn't work.

Millions of Americans are concerned about the direction we are heading in.

The hardest part is believing it could ever happen here.

This regime is going for broke. This regime doesn't plan on losing the power

they have accrued.

The Great Ship America will right it's course. But the current commander is

hell bent on steering us toward an iceberg. Most of the passengers are wondering why.

Some are getting their lifejackets on, the closer we get. America will get back on course.

But, it's remotely possible we may graze an iceberg first.

This isn't a reputable site, regardless of the fancy name.

Really dude, I design websites for a living. It was just to spark conversation.

It would have been better if you had used a reliable site, such as The Times of London or al-Jazeera English.

[calfoxwc]

Oh, for cryin out loud. al-jazeera?

How is it that several of us are surrounded by a couple of morons?
