Why do we even have a debt ceiling? The US Government is like a drunk who’s also a bartender, asking himself if it’s OK to have just one more.

People, WAKE UP!

We are being literally enslaved for generations to come by a full-blown Marxist, and nobody except Glen Beck and freepers seem to notice, or care.

Thirteen trillion isn't that much. According to a post yesterday, if you took 13 trillion silver dollars and set them edge-to-edge they would reach from earth to the sun and back again, plus go around the earch 1700 times.

According to Congressman Pete Stark from California, the more a country borrows, the richer they are. We're really getting rich.

They WERE saying $9 trillion. Now they're upping that, just in case. So . . .

MAKE BELIEVE ("$9 TRILLION")
Tune: "Make Believe"

Only make believe "$9 trillion"
Only make believe it won't be more
We can hope, we can cope by pretending
Debt won't rise, debt won't grow, debt won't soar

Make believe the gap is shrinking
By a trillion bucks, or two or three
Maybe this is a change you'll believe in
But to tell the truth, not me!

Why not a thousand trillion, or a million trillion?

This has been in the works for months. See this article from The Hill. It must be done by mid-October.

Just wait till next year after we monetize this debt for awhile. Hyperinflation will be so fun!

It reminds me of the scene in There's Something About Mary where the psycho-killer says, "You've heard about the 7 minute workout.....well I'm making a tape called the 6 minute workout! Get it? You're in the video store, and which are you going to pick? The 6 or the 7?
