A $1.8 trillion debt ceiling won’t be enough the way Federal tax revenues are cratering.

People are taking their earnings into the non-bank cash only black economy so fast and large that US federal and State tax collection is going to look like Italy’s...AKA only fools pay taxes.

Only $1.8 trillion? That won’t get us through another 12 months of this President and Congress. And to think of when I complained of deficits in the $200 billion range.

And the premeditated, deliberate bankruptcy of the USA continues........

No, no, no! We don't say "bankruptcy," we say "global economic fairness adjustment!"

I can think of one “fairness adjustment” right now......I don’t dare post it ;-)

I can imagine.

Yep. And all because Big Media allowed Zero to get away with all his campaign lies. They knew. They knew. And this is what they also wanted all along.

And they are going to rue the day. Death to the big three.

Cable and the internet will bury them alive.

If they fear a backlash, why are they doing it? These people are, quite simply, insane. They have no business being in charge of anything at this point.

Democrats have added the "authorization to raise the ceiling on the debt" to the defense bill to fund the troops!

Surely you will recall they used the same manuver on a piece of needed legislation when they added the 'hate crimes' crap.

FWIW, I'd rather the Republicans vote "present" and run to the microphones to explain why.

Classic cartoon!

“FWIW, I’d rather the Republicans vote “present” and run to the microphones to explain why. “

That would have been a bold and intelligent move.

” I’m voting “present” because Obama and the Democrat party went on a drunken spending binge......a real bender......... and they should accept the consequences, and wallow in their own vomit.”

LOL.

I’d pay good money to hear just one Republican use language like that!

It would be a special Christmas present, would it not?
