WH Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer: "We are seven days away from an unprecedented financial event in this country's history. One that could potentially put us towards a depression because the House Republicans, led by Speaker Boehner, are unwilling to compromise one inch."
Pfeiffer spoke to CBS News Radio on Tuesday morning.

Oh they are in full propaganda mode. Heard this AM that the gang of 6 have devised a plan to revise the COLA process in Social Security Benes. This plan would reduce payments by 3% and in future by 6%. Frankly I believe this one, since Zero stopped COLA payments for 2 years by “reworking” the inflation rate.
Everybody panic!
What a ridiculous boob he is.
BTW, whatever happened to that Asian meltdown that was supposed to happen on Sunday?
The debt ceiling was set by law in 2010. To the anti-American democrats, having to follow THE LAW is depressing. I sincerely hope the debt ceiling is not raised. It is the only way to force republicrats to live within the budgetary boundaries. Once they see they must not go outside of the 2010 established LAW, maybe, just maybe, we the people can force the lying scum to start cutting government and government spending, to achieve an actual balanced budget, not a faux balance which requires borrowing our nation into debtor’s hell.
Pray earnestly that no bill passes. The law of debt ceiling should be followed, for once int heir criminal lives.
Didn’t anyone ever read “The Boy Who Cried Wolf?” to these guys. Maybe Boehner can sit them down with some milk and cookies and do the honors.
He may be right about the catastrophic event, he is just wrong about who is responsible. The real answer is that Obummer started this the first day in office.
Henny penny the sky is falling!!!!
We are now in full Liberal clinical hysteria mode....
They are not happy if they aren’t rolling on the floor, chewing the carpet!!!
What’s worse, no increase and a “potential depression” or an increase and a continued depression.
Every day I think of this. When do you think everyone will finally figure it out and ignore the rambling of Mr. Dithers and his useless media idiots?
Two years ago I pledged to myself to never again use my charge card. I have not used it. It has been difficult.
Also, and this was difficult as well... as the time has gone by, I have been quadrupling my payments and the thing is paid OFF. It didn’t leave a lot for discretionary spending, but then I was on a mission!!!
Now, no more charge card statement, YIPEE!!!! Never felt so good!
Why can’t these bonehead politicians do the same?? It’s not the end of the world.

We’re already in Obama’s Depression.
He’d have to say “more of a Depression”.

...and, according to the White House, if we didn't pass stimulus ...unemployment would be at 8% right now. (have they ever been right?)
Another self-fulfilling prophecy. They are trying to talk u into a depression. Either that or they know it is coming anyway and are trying to set the gop up for the blame.
Nice.
Fine, Let the Government shut down, 85~90% of it is useless and beyond the Constitution!
Powers of Congress!
