Foreign-agent Soebarkah’s job is ‘Dazzle the American people with a fresh outrage every day, while TRILLIONS are siphoned from taxpayers to Hamas, Solyndra-style shell companies that suddenly go ‘bankrupt’ after the wire transfer clears, Union mafia, Soros and the Muslim Brotherhood.’

And Boehner’s job is ‘Help Soebarkah loot the American people.’

John (there’s no use fighting a war you can’t win) Boehner’s advice to Dwight Eisenhower and Winston Churchill, during WWII!

Boehner’s job is ‘Help Soebarkah loot the American people.’

They’re inside the vault, prying open safe deposit boxes as fast as they can.

Each ‘box’ represents another Trillion dollars.

We’re watching the biggest heist in history, wondering why our ‘hero’ Boehner doesn’t stop it.

His job is ‘Help Obama loot the USA, then drive the getaway car.’

They all belong in front of a firing squad, starting w Soebarkah and Pelosi.

I get it. The way not to default on debt is to accumulate more debt. As long as you are accumulating more debt, you aren’t declaring bankruptcy.

Another way of looking at this is that at near 0 percent interest, the government can’t quite pay off the interest on the debt it owes, so it has to borrow more, creating more principal debt and higher interest payments that will require more borrowing in the near future. It’s a great system until there is nothing to borrow, and the interest on the principal is so high it can’t be paid. Then it is Bush’s fault.

One of my old old grandfathers hailed from Fairfield County. About 1776 he was in the army. One day he saddled his horse. rode out and joined the British. He might have had the Connecticut war with the Pennsylvanians (Pennamites) on his mind.
The reason I mention this is the family stories that have been handed down. Old granddaddy Jerimiah Jackson said he preferred one tyrant a 1000 miles away instead of 1000 tyrants one mile away.
When I see what is taking place in the Congress- both parties- I am beginning to see what that old granddaddy was thinking. It appears that there are 645 tyrants, bought and paid for by the banksters, destroying the nation.
A third party? How long would it be before the lobbyists for the banks totally corrupted them?

There is absolutely no need to increase the debt ceiling. Just do what obama does, print more dollars.

The highly educated political/regulator class folks know that a U.S. default is impossible, and that Charlie will continue sending them gifts for more and more of nothing. That’s why they run up so much private debt and leave their vacant houses behind.

BTW, the interest will go up, and bonds will be frightening.

‘Increase the Debt Ceiling’ = Boehner putting up “one whale of a fight”. Awesome leadership there, ball-less.

That "whale of a fight" talk is so old...wait a minute, here's Boehner's quote from last August:

"I've made it clear that we're not going to increase the debt limit without cuts and reforms that are greater than the increase in the debt limit," The Hill quoted Boehner as saying. "The president doesn't think this is fair, thinks I'm being difficult to deal with. But I'll say this: It may be unfair but what I'm trying to do here is to leverage the political process to produce more change than what it would produce if left to its own devices. We're going to have a whale of a fight."

That line brought a tear to my eye...barf.
