I take it E.J. means the Democrats. If they don't get to spend all they want they will bring the nation to default.
Oh, that's not what he meant?
Sarcasm ON! The democrat party has ALREADY spent us into default. THAT needs to be the central tenet of conservative republicans state publicly as they refuse to give junior another increase in the national credit card line. THAT is what is going on and the voters have voted in conservatives presumably to effect this stance in the HOUSE. It is the Senate that needs to be watched like a hawk.
The various tools of the credit class that do not work or invest for a living, who manipulate the tax laws so that they may continue this lifestyle— these tools ALL include the element of fear of DEFAULT. The fact is that the country ONLY defaults if we fail to pay our interest debt to those who hold our paper— and these holders happen to number NOT just US citizens but foreign powers.
We continue to pay the interest— then we are NOT in default, BUT we cannot expand the Progressive liberal agenda, in the face of no tax revenues from people and companies who have reduced income. This should be plainly stated... and to defy any of the rational Americans to say otherwise. It requires the individual and several LEADERS across the country in every village and city,to take a stand. And to be ready for the truly useless people (not the legitimate disabled, etc. and our wounded veterans) riding in the wagon to uh... get upsetty pie when they have to get out and walk and no longer indolent on our money.
