Remember the stories about Germany - people pushing around wheelbarrows full of money to buy a loaf of bread?

We'll be there shortly.

Those with senators in red states up for reelection in 2014 should get on the phone.

Bend over John Boehner and grease you a$$hole, Harry-ass Reid is going to drive you home after the date and won't be giving you a sloppy kiss afterwards either!

Hey No Problemo, Esse. Future generations will be required to pay this massive debt off and Harry will be long gone by then.

What loafs of bread? There won’t be any food on the streets to buy no matter how many wheelbarrows full of federal reserves notes you have.

I doubt we’ll see another election... state and local, maybe in two years - but certainly not after that.

Then we get the blame when things taking for being obstructionist.

Let the Bush tax cuts expire and hit everyone (that pays) and let sequestration happen. We’re incapable as a nation of self governance any more.

You’re probably right... nothing to buy, and no amount of money could buy it if it showed up!

I can get behind that plan too but I hope we don’t forget we still have some influence on some senators when it comes to judges and cabinet positions.
