I won’t deny what you have posted. I’m reminded though of me...... scrounging at times for cash for payroll .
The sleight of hand means the government has been scrounging for cash. The thought they must scrounge rather than just ask the bank to increase the line is somehow comforting
maybe you wouldn’t be so comforted if the scrounger was your accountant scrounging from your savings account
the “bank” is the US Congress and the “bank” has tied approving further debt ceiling increases to reductions in govt spending
obama has already announced he plans NO spending cuts, he plans to negotiate NOTHING, and he is OK with a govt shutdown on 1 October if Congress doesn’t give him his way
oh and Harry Reid has announced the democrats will seek an additional $1 TRILLION tax hike
nothing comforting about what is coming in September
