On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Democrats were more than willing to raise the debt ceiling by another $2.4 trillion when America hits its current ceiling at the end of the year.

[chessplayer]

Why don't they just raise it 100 trillion or 200 trillion instead of going through this crap over and over and over. Or do away with a ceiling altogether.

[fortheDeclaration]

Exactly! What a farce!

[Ron C.]

Remember the stories about Germany - people pushing around wheelbarrows full of money to buy a loaf of bread?

We'll be there shortly.

[yellowdoghunter]

Those with senators in red states up for reelection in 2014 should get on the phone.

[paratrooper82]

Bend over John Boehner and grease you a$$hole, Harry-ass Reid is going to drive you home after the date and won't be giving you a sloppy kiss afterwards either!

[Signalman]

Hey No Problemo, Esse. Future generations will be required to pay this massive debt off and Harry will be long gone by then.

[kaehurowing]

No way. Off the cliff you go.

[Paladin2]

SHUT....IT....DOWN.

There is nothing more to lose.

[paratrooper82]

What loafs of bread? There won’t be any food on the streets to buy no matter how many wheelbarrows full of federal reserves notes you have.

[Ron C.]

I doubt we’ll see another election... state and local, maybe in two years - but certainly not after that.

[TigerClaws]

Then we get the blame when things taking for being obstructionist.

Let the Bush tax cuts expire and hit everyone (that pays) and let sequestration happen. We’re incapable as a nation of self governance any more.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

It’s just money. We have plenty of ink and paper.

[CanadianBloodAmericanHeart]

Get some balls Boehner!!!

[Ron C.]

You’re probably right... nothing to buy, and no amount of money could buy it if it showed up!

[Fzob]

Well based on current spending trends that might just get the US through another 9 months.

[dfwgator]

Too late.

[madison10]

“...a piece of bread will buy a bag of gold. I wish we’d all been ready...”

Just a song that keeps poppin’ into my head.

[yellowdoghunter]

I can get behind that plan too but I hope we don’t forget we still have some influence on some senators when it comes to judges and cabinet positions.

[Gator113]

I wonder how the folks that didn’t vote for “love of country” feel about that.
