Even drunken sailors are shaking their heads and saying "Congress, you are way out of control."

Geez, you blame the President for everything !...You must be a DU mole !...Bush is just like Reagan !...
/sarcasm
Some would say a vote for a third party is a vote for a democrat...Given recent experience I would say a vote for a republican is like a vote for a democrat !

i read somewhere that they justify this by the dollar trending lower. so ten dollars five years from now is worth fifteen today. therefore they are 'reducing' the amount owed by putting it off. /s

Good gosh, that sounds like something they'd say. I'm not sure the sarcasm tag fits.
BTW, I have read numerous times about how we should still vote for our republican candidates, because it's better than a rat. I'd like to say that if you reward bad behavior, you'll get more of the same. The only way to get their attention is to fire them. Vote 3rd party, vote rat, stay home, whatever works for you. But if you do what you always did, you'll get what you always got.

So how does this affect you personally?
To: brownsfan
yeah, i just put the '/s on the end because i don't feel like getting burned right now (give me a little while :). i agree about the need for a viable third party, but unless i see one that can win i'm still voting for the lesser of two evils.

Another Possible Bump to the Debt Ceiling (to nearly $10 TRILLION)Republicans: The new Democrats.

The gov't owns the money printing presses. The gov't could pay off the debt with little effort. Just print the money. Of course, inflation would likely rip the lid off the economy. I suppose that's one of the reasons the fed. reserve watches the inflation rate like a hawk.

To: kinoxi
Glad you like it, here's another.
People that agitate about the debt, should really take some time to learn about it, rather than just post some scary-big number.
