0zero is laughing his ass off at you.

Seems to me it's the Republicans he's laughing at. No matter which "plan" passes, they ALL raise the debt ceiling by several trillion. You think he cares about anything but the bottom line? I don't.

What I think he cares about is another four years of spending. And that's his focus already. If he can get our freshmen to break their no new tax pledge he will kill us. If he can goad us into holding firm to no increase, he will kill us.

EV you know what would happen economically and socially if gov't spending were cut, overnight, by 45%. We would be slaughtered next fall. Sure we'd spend 2T less - until after the next elections!

He wasn't able to get us to break the tax pledge but he is sending us gently down the plank by goading us into sticking to no raise. IMO it will kill us.

This site is all about exchanging ideas - i've provided mine - CCB. What's your plan EV?
