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.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

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

[CanadianBloodAmericanHeart]

Get some balls Boehner!!!

[Fzob]

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

[Gator113]

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

‘We will spend and spend, and tax and tax, and elect and elect.’ FDR crony Harry Hopkins, 1938

[NoLibZone]

get out of the way and vote present.

and dont run a 2016 president.

let it collapse rather than prolonging it.

[Carriage Hill]

Kinda like raising the floor above you, when the basement’s got 4ft of floodwater in it, makes it seem less deep.

There’s an old saying here in PA Farm Country: “Don’t eat your last apple”. (or you won’t have seeds to plant new trees and grown new apples)

[Terry Mross]

I’d like to know what congress knows about what will happen if they don’t raise the debt ceiling. I’m sure they know a lot more than we do. It must be bad.

[The Louiswu]

Why even have a debt ceiling! What’s the point.?

[Toespi]

This creep gets drunk on power, doesn’t he?

[Dapper 26]

Exactly. And while they’re at it, raise the minimum wage to a real living wage, say $100 / hour, make Fannie and Freddie give 40 year 1% home mortgage loans, issue students government vouchers worth $10,000 each.......give them 10 per semester, etc, etc. Let’s let the democrats do in one year instead of eventually.

[FlyingEagle]

$2.4 trillion will only last one short year. agreed, there should be 100 Trillion or more. They can throw it off the fiscal cliff. Yippee!!

[Georgia Girl 2]

I think the GOP should let them raise it by $10 trillion. The faster we move toward economic collapse the faster we can get this country back. Its going to take a total disaster of epic proportions to wrest control away from the progressives.
