This whole game is just ANOTHER scheme to extort MORE money from American taxpayers.
They tell us they’re broke and threaten to cut off the basics -the things the national government are SUPPOSED to do, according to the founders.
All the while, THEIR salaries, their special interests ALL continue - business as usual.
These folks ARE the so-called “Rich who are getting richer off of OUR backs”. WHEN WILL THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION REALIZE THIS???
And you might add political theater at its best. The debt ceiling will be raised, revenues enhanced, and vague future promises of future spening cuts will be made. Obama wins.
If by some miracle the GOP does not cave, the Ascended 0ne will manufacture a crisis, painting the GOP as the evil ones who delayed Granny's monthly check. Obama wins.
As a local radio talk show host commented earlier in the week, the 2012 election is being held now. Unfortunately 50 percent of American's want the European socialist style cradle to grave welfare state, consequences and common sense be damned.
