Who could possibly be capable enough to retrain him to actually make an honest living at a decent wage?

I agree, very bad reporting, very bad writing.

Debating the debt. Well now maybe the problem could be that it is debatable.

When the going gets tough they leave.

Typical of RATS leaving the sinking ship.

“And if they don’t raise the limit?”

See that bus over there with all the bodies underneath it? See those two empty spots with the names Geithner and Melson?

Please Mr. TAX DODGER, let me hold the door for you on the way out, you complete and utter failure, except you crippled this nation just like your masters told you to, so to them you succeeded. I think you need to get a dictionary and reference Hari-Kiri or suicide bomber. You could succeed in those pursuits too. But now you will live off the millions you stole from this nation. Sleep well, scumbag.

If he leaves now, do you think they’ll quit propping up the stock market?

Obambi is sure to have someone less qualified and more controversial to put in his place - likely a minority.

Such a shame. And I’ve hardly had a chance to use that handy “tax cheat” red rubber stamp on the paper money printed with Timmy’s signature.

The revenue coming in today will pay interest on the debt... it would force across the board cuts. I think it is the only way... not perfect but better now than later.
