In the end, they will all have to stand before us and the world with a national debt “ceiling” (”suggestion” actually) and figure out how much longer they can play shell games with a national debt of nearly $17 Trillion dollars
I for one am going Galt to the best of my ability
My apologies and sincere regrets to those of my fellow working citizens who depend on consumerism for their livelihood
wish i could also. but i can’t. i’m stuck.
and HOW did Boehner get to be speaker after this:
“Boehner said the same thing before the TARP vote. He said the exact same thing. He wasn’t Speaker then but before the TARP vote in 2000 he said, “It’s crucial. We’re at a pressure point in the country where we can’t let ideological purity stand in the right thing to do.” “
the Boehner plan adds TRILLIONS to the debt.
and for the first time, EVER, i am disappointed in Colonel West.
doing NOTHING, and letting the ceiling hit, is still better than the Boehner plan.
(the USA AAA rating is GOING to be downgraded either way.)
Colonel West, for the first time i know of in his life,
is NOT making the best decision for his country.

$17 trillion is nothing compared to the over $100 trillion owed is unfunded liabilities over the next 20 or so years (maybe longer). Our national debt is going asymptotic and there’s nothing we can really do to stop it. We’ve had many chances in the past but the train wreck is not if, but only when. We’ll probably end up collapsing the whole global financial system at this rate.
