The whale blowhole got clogged and it drowned.
Hey! You’re not supposed to remember that!
How about dropping the debt ceiling by $1 trillion and require spending cuts, except in the military, to make it so.
Have you ever been so convinced they will punt? (outside of a Jacksonville Jaguars game?)
“Nobody wants to default on our debt. But while we’re doing this, we ought to do something about either jobs and the economy, about the drivers of our debt.”
Speaker Boehner, can you tell us why you failed to mention that key driver of our debt, GOVERNMENT SPENDING!!??
Sheesh. And the GOPEs wonder why there is an insurgency against Republican incumbents.
Liar. So now he's parroting the Dem's lie from 2012? Get rid of this jerk!
The interest on the debt gets paid by a separate Treasury account. What remains afterwards goes into the Treasury's main account for funding Federal spending.
Not raising the debt ceiling just = instant balanced budget. They can't spend more than is taken in.
“We’ll see,” Boehner said. “Listen, the goal here is to increase the debt ceiling. Nobody wants to default on our debt.”
Sheesh! Boehner must have a bad back by now, from walking around all day holding his ankles. Why doesn’t he just switch to the dhimmicrap party and be done with the charade?
The disproven notion that failing to raise the debt ceiling would necessarily lead to default on debt payments is being thrown up by the pubbies?
We are truly a one-party nation, at this point.
Time for a new Conservative party to emerge from the chaos that is our nation, today.
“Listen, the goal here is to increase the debt ceiling.”
Just remember those words when the economic collapse comes and you are eating your survival food.
