Default = Max out your credit card.
This one has been quite irritating to me. The dRats have managed to change the tone of this whole issue by use of the word 'default'. Default comes when you don't pay your credit card bill, NOT when you max it out.
It is amazing how liberals default to spewing the tired old mantras without thought. It simply proves how devoid of critical thinking they really are. I remember a lib once describing how dangerous it would be to give the keys to the nuclear football to " someone like Reagan". He said this three years AFTER President Reagan LEFT office.
I think you're even overly generous in this faint praise. They may succeed in a temporary increase in sales, or jobs, or what ever they stimulate, but they generally have NO effect on 'stimulating' the economy, and in fact, quickly help slow it down.
I hope we get to see a lot more of Raul. He’s so effective!
Maybe we need to make him an offer he won't refuse: His own 747, a cook, lifetime cigarettes, and a title (maybe Chief Chief?), in return for quitting.
Rats. I should have known it was too good to be true. I guess if he continues to say he's against amnesty, he might be good but I've seen too many who pretend...
That does explain one thing. On the show he said he had TEA Party support, but was NOT a member of the TEA Party Caucus. Sigh.
My favorite was when Granholm started attacking the TEA Party as destructive and he pointed out her record as Governor taking (working from memory so don’t trust exact figures) an unemployment level of 8 per cent in the state to 16%. And he did it without looking mean.
Her reply was, “hummanahummanahummana it wasn’t my fault that manufacturing left my state and lots of other states too hummanahummanahummana.
