The nation might be better off if it only lasted until Sept. 1,2012

[skeeter]

In a just world congressional heads would roll for what they are intentionally doing to the standard of living of Americans in the private sector.

And Obama wants to raise taxes

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-next-debt-limit-deal-must-include

And we’re terrorists?

[traditional1]

That’s right; with all the handouts to buy votes, and for Unions to funnel back to the DNC after receiving taxpayer money as a “bailout”, we’ll soon run out of borrowed money AGAIN.....until we stop paying off constituencies with the earnings of others.

[clove]

She already has her shopping list written.

[ClearCase_guy]

Small pie-in-the-sky anticipated cuts in the budget plotted out over a 10 year period.
plus
Immediate, multi-trillion dollar lines of credit projected to last little more than 1 year.

This town needs a better class of criminal.

[kittymyrib]

The $2.4 Trillion is BO’s “walkin’ around money,” to pay off the Democrat base for the 2012 elections, provided so graciously by the GOP stooges. They are too stupid to lead.

[throwback]

Huh, I believe that was the plan Nancy? Remember the e-l-e-c-t-i-o-n? The number was based on going past the e-l-e-c-t-i-o-n. Yeah, you are in the congress. Remember?

[sport]

Her estimate is probably short by 17 months.

Here's what Democrats have done with our tax money to buy votes:

“..will be exhausted by the Treasury in only 18 months. “

well dahling, that why you must slash spending like a sharp machete going through a cane field. Do you hear us??

[AngelesCrestHighway]

“....we needed the full time, the 18 months so that we can have the Americans’ kitchen table, people sitting around that table and sitting around the boardroom table, would all know that you can rely on the United States of America to meet its obligations. Okay?”.....WTF is she talking about?

EARTH TO NANCY!.....HELLO?

[BitWielder1]

She is probably right, but I think the gov't will spend it even faster.
Government raising the government debt ceiling is like an alcoholic going on one more drinking binge, but TOMORROW I'll go cold turkey. Promise.
We all know how it will turn out.
We will go through the same thing again in 18 months, if not sooner.

[Sooth2222]

"House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) is predicting ... "

Has she ever been right predicting anything?

Based of prior experience she should be off by about 50% -- so we should be right back here about this time next year.

[Lazamataz]

We have to have 18 months so that people sitting on a kitchen table all know that America doesn't bail on it's debts.

Yeah. We gotta have 18 months, and also, the 50/50 split.

Does she have any idea what she's saying?

[org.whodat]

No problem, boner and the republican leadership, are writing an increase.

[upchuck]

That’s okay Nancy. Don’t worry your pretty little head about it. 18 months from now is Feb, 2013. Sarah Palin will be President then I’m sure she has a plan. Pray that she doesn’t have a plan for you also.

[hosepipe]

What Nancy is not thinking about "IS"..

After Nov. 2012 THEN... we can start eliminating many federal bureaucracies.. which will make much more money available for the other federal agencies.. less taxation will be needed(eventually)..

AND... massive fraud by citizens and contractors can be plugged up..
When the federal government becomes much SMALLER.. less money will needed to run it..
Start by eliminating much of what Obama and George Bush did to increase the federal government... and reduce the size of other agencys..

Changing whole amendments(annulling) to the Constitution may have to wait for 2016..

[FlyVet]

That'll put us near 115% debt/GDP. Only 5% more, and we, too, can be like the PIIGS of Europe.

Japan is getting away with over 200%, so maybe we can blast through the 120% barrier, and go for the gold.
