Have no fear, folks. There are plenty of republican party sell outs who are willing to bankrupt us.

Yep! All of this is congressional theatrics. They have a role to play in their dog and pony show. Probably reading over their scripts. The outcome is predetermined.

The disaster is intentional.

The Left is working feverishly to make numerous major system crash in the same general time period, most especially the financial sectors, so that our one and only response will be to say that "only big government is big enough to fix this huge mess.

I hope I’m wrong.

The process stinks and everyone says we need to change it. Vote NO, that’s how you change it.

“sneak it through when no one is looking”

I’m absolutely shocked it failed

They have to make it seem like they are fighting it-it will pass once everyone gets their little piece.
