“let them tax and spend us over the edge and after the collapse we can pick up the pieces”
My sentiments exactly. Time to check out. Let it fail.
Think I’ll just focus on making as much money as I can, and spending time with my kids.
As Ten Bears said to Josey Wales, "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men."
I see the makings of a strategy here. Kick the can down the road for 2-3 months, and let the focus be on the failure of Obamacare. If past is prologue, then another fiscal crisis will manifest itself shortly before the advent of primary season.
Immigration reform will be a nonstarter, particularly when it's tied to Obamacare eligibility. Plus, the legislators are exhausted from the events of the past few weeks.
Tea Party Senators and Congressman can vote no (on the CR), and force it to pass with mostly Democrat votes. Let the Dems own it, just as they own Obamacare.
What I would like to see Boehner do is recess the Congress to the first week in December, and let the Congresscritters spend 5-6 weeks in their home districts, getting an earful from their constituents.
