It’s Delightful, It’s Delicious, It’s Default

A default and immediate bankruptcy would be better than anotherr Package Deal.

I think we are going to default. There is no way out of $14 trillion soon to be $16 trillion in debt. We can never pay it back. Just like Greece. They keep agreeing to an austerity package and get another handout from Germany and then in a few mos they are in default again. Thats us in a couple of years.

"The meaningless chatter has been about Michele Bachmann, and whether she’s the Gaffe-O-Matic or merely gaffetastic. After watching her embarrassing campaign launch yesterday, I can’t say I much care. Honestly, it was the worst GOP presidential announcement..."

It appears that he agrees with the author of the following.

Michele Bachmann, hell's Barbie (Barf - SF Libs nervous)

As for default, we need new leadership in all levels of politics, business and academia, so bring it on. It will be an opportunity for better leaders to rebuild our country, which has been soiled by “progressives” from various parties.

Loyal Americans should prepare.

But I digress, and we have serious business to cover. What Lindsey says about our spending problem comes down to: We are so screwed.

Without getting into the details of Lindsey's grim WSJ article and Green's commentary, this sentence pretty much sums it up. We've now arrived at the point in the welfare-state rapids where the plunge over waterfall is in sight - at the bottom will be a much diminished America with smaller ambitions and abilities, both at home and abroad.

And even now, the union idiots and welfare-state fans of the left are too busy demanding new taxes and new borrowing to fund the practices that have ruined us to notice the disaster that is almost upon us.

Not years, months.

[Georgia Girl 2]

You could be right.

At this point I don’t see how we can avoid the loss of international confidence in the dollar. If we were to replace 0, Bernanke, and the others with competent people tomorrow, it would already be too late. There is simply no way we can survive a deficit this large. Our best hope now is to pray that the American electorate sees reason after the economic collapse and America rises again from the ashes of her former self.

[Gaffer]

Screw the alternatives the Imposter-in-Chief has presented. Instead of dropping Scholarships, NWS or FDA food inspections how bout decimating the IRS, the food stamp program (EBT for our poor stigmatized no-goods), the DHS, the TSA or HUD/Education or a myriad of other damned worthless loser programs. I want to see it crash and let the chips fall. Real people will pick up the pieces after the rioting urbanites have finally been re-calibrated on their worth and effect on the rest of this country. We’ve prepared; they’ve leeched.

If anyone has read this book, then they know what I mean when I say God help us all when the dollar collapses. The vast majority of folks will not be able to fathom what they will be up against.

You might consider Ron Paul. The GOP likes all those big government agencies. They get to run them every few years. The 2 Party system is such a scam.

[screaminsunshine]

Horrors. We might have to trade with things of actual value. Like work. Obamabucks might soon have all the cash value of a Camel Cupon.

[Gaffer]

Too libertarian for me....while I’d decimate un-needed agencies, there are things like Defense, ethics & morals, and other worthwhile facets of traditional American society that I’d like to keep. We just need some real bad Chemo, Radiation, excision and a strict dietary regimen of we-can’t-spend-no-money-on-worthless-shits.

[screaminsunshine]

I do not think it is constitutional to default. Maybe a cut to bare bones government and a 50 year mortgage.

[screaminsunshine]

Not gonna happen with the Rats and GOP entrenched in both houses and the courts. We need a radical executive like Paul to do battle with them. The executive branch can do a lot real fast.

[Gaffer]

You’re wasting your time with me on Ron Paul.. I’d advise you to try to convert someone less principled.

[familyop]

I’ve agreed with much that you wrote and understand the attraction to Ron Paul, although I disagree with supporting him. But have a look at the “Addendum” (free video) in the second of the following.

Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist: Addendum (2008)
http://www.archive.org/details/Zeitgeist.Addendum

After watching “Addendum” and seeing the many calls to support Ron Paul in that, go to the “Venus Project” to see that they’re about (”resource-based” world economy with all the world’s people owning the resources, and so on).

Then you’ll know the truth. BTW, anarchists paved the way for communist organizations during Europe’s decades past.

"Horrors. We might have to trade with things of actual value. Like work."

Agreed.

[screaminsunshine]

OK but not a GOP or RAT. To be nominated by them is to be compromised.
