“Nobody wants to default on our debt.”

The BIG LIE

GOP are useless.

Time for a 3rd party yet?

[Josa]

At this point, what difference does it make

[rarestia]

Ugh... the problem here is that, in general, Americans are so poorly educated that they believe we would default on our debt. The removal of civics in high school curricula is part of the reason we are where we are right now.

You have

unelected staffers who surround the congressmen.

Staffers should not be allowed to go from office to office.

-

unelected bureacrats change or enforce laws on their personal bias and whims.

-

unelected executive appointiees are retained administration to administration.
-

Reporters are social lampry fish for elected aristocrats.

-

the likes of boener do not exist/survive beyond the beltway plantation.

“Time for a 3rd party yet?”

Long past time

[kabar]

Exactly. We have more than enough revenue to cover the debt servicing costs. There is no way we will ever default on our debt. Boehner just reinforces that lie.

It’s time for the entire house of cards to fall.
