Well, those contractors that are RELYING on the Federal gov’t for millions and billions in revenue, they will not get paid.

Federal employees will not get paid.

But since our tax Revenue is not going up significantly for the forseeable future (as opposed to what Dems think), deficts will remain every year, adding to the debt, if we don’t drastically cut Federal spending.

We are already making the Federal Reserve the only interested buyer of Treasury debt, and they’re just printing money to buy the debt, in essence.

At some point very soon, all Central banks will dump the dollar, the value of the dollar will collapse, and the cost of crude oil from foreign nations, including Canada, will skyrocket. This will push consumer inflation through the roof, while paychecks sluggishly follow.

The longer the Federal government waits to put the brakes on borrowing and adapt an austerity budget that is austere for the Federal government - not SS and MedC - the bigger the bubble will be when it breaks.

MHO...

Please God let Harry Reid be right! SHUT IT DOWN. Unless you’re actually nursing at the public teat you won’t even know when it goes dry. Won’t affect me or anybody I know one bit. SHUT HER DOWN, please.

They are promising that unless Obama gets his new taxes by 2 August, the country will be destroyed: no Boy Scouts, no IRS, no FBI, no Border Patrol, no school lunches for schools (indeed, all schools may be forced to close), no Social Security checks, no military retiree checks, etc.

Other than Social Security checks and military retiree checks and MAYBE the FBI if they investigate the criminal enterprise called the Obummer administration ... I don't see a downside

What budget deal? He hasn’t had a budget plan since he’s been in office. He only knows one thing, spend, spend, spend.

The GOP should start an “adopt a local senior should Obama cut off their funding” program. That would showcase the generosity of conservatives and pure evil of liberals.

Note to these three “Mere Politicians” IMO the Country has failed when it has followed the leadership of that Party professing to give a voice to all the people when in fact the DIVISIVE Anti-American Democratic Party is just too pinkofag to be trusted with leadership.

Was the Carpetbagger Geithner invoking the ghosts of the
Congress of Mass. Provincial ,@1774 with his cloak of Patriotic fevor? Problem is the Mass. Congress back then was led by Christians and Patriots I am not convinced Barry Soetoro has ANY inhis administration that can rightly claim to be either.

"Schumer, Reid, Geithner Promise the country will fall if Obama doesn't get his budget deal "

They're confusing comrade "obama" with "the country" again.
