Well, we haven't quite broke it yet, but it definitely needs breaking. Btw, the Democrat Senate broke the budget process. They simply refuse to pass a budget because they don't want the Republican House using its constitutional authority to limit government spending. And the feckless Boehner, et al, are too weak and spineless to do anything about it.

[kimtom]

Yeah, break it some more!!!!!!

[Buckeye McFrog]

There are several pieces floating around the media today with this same meme.

Combine that with Obama’s speech and a coordinated theme emerges.

“It’s the Tea Party’s fault that you’re still out of a job!”

Quite Stalinesque of them, I must say.

[Mr. K]

I can’t beleive they have gone 5 YEARS without a budget!!

My theory is that they cannot pass a budget because they will be limitted to BASELINE budget limits of 5 years ago.

And BOHNER IS THE MOST LAME-ASS SPEAKER IN HISTORY

[GeronL]

why are people that stupid allowed on TV?

Maybe we need a new law. lol

[alloysteel]

We have economic suffocation all right. But in no possible or logical manner could it be tied to the efforts of the T.E.A. party. If anything, the T.E.A. people are like the person trying to throw the pillow OFF his (or her) face.

[NormsRevenge]

Oh MY GOd!

Good thing only about 5 people watch that channel.

[Vaduz]

Democrats can’t tell the truth only whine and blame no sane ideas what so ever.

[USNBandit]

We haven’t had a budget since the democrats owned both houses. It’s broken because the democrats in the Senate keep writing budgets even they won’t vote for.

[andy58-in-nh]

Socialists believe that government is the source of economic wealth. They also believe that it is the source of our rights.

The first belief is stupid. The second is dangerous.

[stanne]

Regardless of who is doing what Has anyone given any thought to suffocating our innocent voiceless children with 17 trillion in debt after its no longer viable to print money like its Monopoly money?

I’m sure the couple of griwn ups in Washington have.

[svcw]

hum? First two years obama you were in total control and did nothing......broken - good, break it some more.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Yeah. Jump up and down and break it some more!

[Coldwater Creek]

I just heard Obama say that the country is in better financeial shape than ever before.

[Servant of the Cross]

broke [brohk]

adjective:
1. without money; penniless.
2. bankrupt

Let's see. The socialist democrats spent all the money they have collected from the citizens and borrowed even more.

Tea Party Patriots said "Stop Spending Our Money" like this. It is unsustainable. You'll go broke.

Who "broke" Washington again? Liberals are definitely from the Joseph Goebbels "tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it ..." propaganda school.

[rrrod]

CHOKE EM!

[Dead Corpse]

Poor Mr. Hayes is obviously an Economic illiterate and has the mistaken assumption that this is something to be proud of...

Or... He’s just another partisan Left-wing hack spewing the agitprop to the mindless masses.

Or... Both.

I’m going with both.

[TexasCajun]

Rachel Maddow's sister:

[Billthedrill]

I don't get the sense that this was one of those provocative comments to stimulate debate, I get the sense that the Commentariat truly do live in an alternate reality. And yeah, five years of continuing resolutions is no way to run a government, or rather it's no way to control a government. It's a great way to hide spending, though.

[SECURE AMERICA]

Just because you are stupid doesn’t mean that you can not be on TV.
Washington has been broken for decades. Washington has been bankrupt for decades.
The emergence of the Tea Party is because of these conditions.

[smoothsailing]

The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows 44 percent of Americans opposed to raising the debt ceiling, with only 22 percent in favor.

and less than one tenth of 1 percent know what a Chris Hayes is.
