Golly, gee! I guess that we can actually go beyond May without raising the debt ceiling and survive!! Who knew!! Maybe somebody should tell the Congress, although a lot of the people in Congress already know this and that's why Geithner has to extend the phony deadline.

Here's an idea. Find out how much we can spend this year without raising the debt ceiling. And then allocate the funds accordingly. That's what the rest of us have to do.

Timmy is slowly starting to master TurboBudget and is learning that the US can prioritize payments so that debt service is maintained without defaulting even without an increase in borrowing.

God help us with these clowns in charge.

No more debt - live within your means just like every single citizen of America is forced to do. YOU HAVE TO PRIORITIZE WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO APPLY THE INCOME REVENUE - do you need help selecting which ones to postpone?
