“The question is will zero make the interest payments or do something else with the money just to plunge the nation into true irretrievable debt?”

I don’t think he can refuse to make the interest payments, but he DOES get to decide where else to make cuts if the Repubs refuse to raise the debt ceiling. And he sent threatening verbal signals to them about this in that abominable presser that he’ll cut off payments for vital services, military, SS, etc., if they buck him. Then the “great unwashed” masses will be up in arms and view Republicans as evil villains (Libs/MSM will make sure of it).

That’s what we’re up against here. And since he has absolutely NO conscience or concern for the American people - only his own political well-being - it’s a win-win for him.

I just wonder when, if ever, the Repubs will get the cojones to graphically explain this truth to the public before Aug. 2. Same with the Ryan plan vs. the “throwing Grandma off a cliff” ads. They need to loudly (and repeatedly) tell everyone about the $500 billion Medicare cuts in Obamacare and how/why we’ll have rationed care and denial of many services for seniors. Why doesn’t Ryan (in particular) or any of the good conservative legislators shout this from the rooftops? Most people don’t follow politics as we do here, and all they see is TV (and ads).

“one thousand five hundred billion”

I like that! It’s more graphic, as you said. Even better, how about one thousand five hundred thousand thousand thousand. (Because even a “billion” is hard to grasp) - or one and a half thousand thousand million.

“an insightful, and clearly non-guilty, new host.”

Replacement for CW (as well as some others) who’s on vacay, no doubt. She’s sweet, but...

Can’t wait for Megan Kelly to return from leave. She’s a hard hitter.

If we could just get millions of Americans to understand that one Trillion is one Million Million, and to be able to see that number with 12 zeroes, we would have no problem getting Congress and the White House to snap the purse shut.

1,000,000,000,000 doesn’t even seem real. It seems like the kind of number used in astronomy or other unrelated-to-daily-life subject.

Exactly, I just found out that those of us now on Medicare have our cost doubled by 2014 yet no one on our side is even mentioning it!!You gotta wonder sometimes what the heck is going on!

The Minnesota debacle reviewed here on FR with the Minn. radical left wing Governor Mark Dayton now gutting the budget in favor of the far left is a good facsimile of what we will be up against soon if our guys truly have the guts to not sign on to the debt ceiling and if zero even stops borrowing as he is tasked to do by law.

I don’t think it was a “show” just on during the weekend morning show as a guest promoting her book.

What really drives things home is having to pay out of your own money instead of having a corporation deduct money you never see.That brings it home.

What they do, they create the feeling of the party on a particular bill up in the Delaware senate (they’d do this national too only no Repubs in the national law houses). So the bill up to allow very dumb manufactured home owners to demand that the landlords do not get to raise their land rates if their net profit is over a certain amount.


Okay, I did some investigating and I apologize. Above is a quote from my very first post on this thread, I stand corrected...you did quote me accurately.

quick background, there is a big debate ongoing in Delaware about a Delaware law in process that would give owners of manufactured homes ownership control of the land on which their home sits to them, taking it away from the person who owns the land.

It’s a bad law, as proposed.

But I hadn’t discussed it on this forum and wondered where your quote came from. I went back to a long missive somewhere else that I’d written aboout this thing (which did not pass as of now) and did not see those words.

Moving on....perhaps it isn’t obvious in the excerpt above, but I was tongue-in-cheek about manufactured home owners being dumb as this is how the communists who want to take control of the land away from its rightful owners TREAT them. “They are too dumb to handle their own affairs so we (the Democratically controlled “Manufactured Home Owners Association”) will speak for them)”.

The quote is a cut and post from a previous post, which I made obvious within my post on this thread. A further clarification was on the post from which I quoted.

but hey, we live in a politically correct world so kudos to you for finding this. I post a lot on this thread and will have these sorts of things happen now and again.

But somebody will find it and be the hero.

I should not have cast aspersions on what you quoted, I had no idea where you’d gotten it, I went back and checked my previous writings, NOT on Freerepublic cause I had never discussed this here, could not find those words, and thought you was playing a trick.

So sorry for that and hey, CONGRATS for picking that up! And be sure to make it public and humiliate me without asking me for explanation...you’re my hero!

“And be sure to make it public and humiliate me without asking me for explanation...you’re my hero!”

I just saw your posting earlier on FR and thought you were making fun of MHOs (some people do). No way intended to humiliate, but since I once had a “manufactured home” when I was 20, I felt the need to stand up for other MHOs everywhere! :-)

It’s an interesting scenario you wrote about, though. When someone buys a large parcel of land, then develops it and builds subdivisions, each buyer purchases the lot as well as the house, be it spec or custom.

But having helped borrowers get financing to buy or develop mobile home parks, I realize it’s usually done differently. Been so long since I lived in one, I’d forgotten. But yes, we bought the mobile home first then looked for a good park and paid rental on the “pad”.

So what you described is yet another example of the government’s harebrained ideas. Doesn’t sound like they think the MHOs are stupid, but that they (the govt.) would be doing something wonderful (now THAT’S stupid)!

“But,like most of their scams it won’t work.”

In BHO’s world, it IS working. A couple of his anti-American goals are to create class warfare AND break the middle class.

“Dyson-——Just like the vacuum cleaner....HE SUCKS!”

No kidding. Since we have the Master Racist occupying our white house (with his gleeful band of fellow black racists, radicals, marxists and muslims), all the others out there are that much more emboldened. I see it daily - in the media and on our streets. It’s sickening, disgusting, tiresome, and has set race relations in this country back at least fifty years.

Wait and see how really vicious it’ll get for wonderful, conservative, black candidates like Herman Cain or (soon) Allen West. And most of the racism will come from leftist MSM (Jon Stewart, anyone?) and radical or Progressive blacks with big megaphones.

“A dynamic, free economy would quickly rebound once freed from the chains of command and control and insane subsidies. Millions of citizens lost their jobs “suddenly” since the Marxist took power.”

New variation on a classic Reagan quote:

A recession is when your neighbor loses his job, a depression is when you lose YOUR job, and a recovery is when b. hussein obama loses HIS job :-))))))))))))))

“I don’t know who she was. I didn’t notice an on-air graphic name tag and didn’t hear her give her name. I checked the FNS site but couldn’t find her.”

Her name is Shannon Bream - she fills in for people sometimes.

Oh, there were riots aplenty in the 60’s. Particularly in 1968 - everywhere. Even trips to KC had to be cancelled due to the riots there, and curfews were imposed. Then, of course, there was Watts.
