Obama would reach that in a year or two

[Organic Panic]

Obviously we have a paying for it problem.

There was a story on yahoo that Lew might order the IRS not to release any tax refunds until the debt ceiling is raised. If that's not a blatant attempt to get the Obama voter riled up and mad at Republicans I don't know what is, you see the dirty secret is that because of the Earned Income Tax Credit, many low income people get back FAR more in tax refunds than they actually pay in (sometimes to the tune of $5,000 or more). In reality the Earned Income Tax credit is the biggest welfare transfer in the nation. Well these same people have come to expect said payout by the middle of February every year and will even go take out and make purchases on credit or take out short term, high-interest loans (Refund Anticipation Loans) expecting to pay them back by a set date. If the spigot is cut off....the excrement is going to hit the air circulation device quickly...

Bookkeeping maneuvers..

Sounds illegal to me..

But what do I know?

[BillT]

Why even bother with a debt limit if it is always raised?

[LibLieSlayer]

They lie about that number also... it was 17 Trillion before the raised the debt ceiling TWICE. One thing is certain... THE GOVERNMENT NEVER TELLS THE TRUTH.

I thought Bernacke might have severed the printer cable on the way out of the office, but clearly not so.

[pallis]

I was thinking the same thing. Why screw around with a trillion or so at a time when there are bigger numbers to play with? What’s the point of having a fantasy government with limits?

[familyop]

Make raising the debt ceiling a weekly activity. Don’t worry. It’ll be fun! There’s no risk in the U.S. Dollar!

;-D

[Buffalo Bob]

It’s a madhouse! A madhouse....

There’s actually more REALITY to the Roadrunner-Wylie E. Coyote cartoons than there is to these clowns in Washington running their scam on the American tax payers
