The Tea Party - AKA Lunatic Fringe, AKA Economic Terrorists have been saying this all the time, but nobody was listening...least of all the Republican party. They never intended on voting to raise the debt ceiling. "That is not what they were elected to do". There intent from the very beginning is to completely wreck the economy. "Tear it down, and start from scratch". We have heard this over and over again from them, but we thought they were just postering. NO, they are in fact crazy.

THe CC&B bill is a sham. You introduce a bill that requires a Constitutional Amendment within 2 weeks of a deadline. This is not a serious bill. It is like an employer offering a person a job, but the requirement is that they have to be able to jump the grand canyon barefoot. They were never serious about wanting to raise the debt ceiling.

We need to completely cut them out of the equation and sane americans need to start working together to fix the problem not matter which side of the aisle that you are on.

Sadly the right wing on this board supports their attempts to destroy America, since they are doing what they were elected to do! Of course, the right wings also don't realize crashing the world economy and raising our interest rates doesn't actually save us money, it forces us to spend trillions more in interest.

The right wing T Party supporters, which is what we mostly have on this board. Why even negotiate with people who are not willing to negotiate. We completely cut them out. They are irrelevant to any future considerations.

We have been operating under the wrong assumption and that assumption is that they would come to their senses in light of all the catastrophic predictions, but the fact is that they won't. We will go on without them.

But hey the TP'ers don't care...at least the liberals and Obama get taken down in the building collapse. That is job #1. Thats been the agenda assigned to them by Freedomworks and by gum they are going for it like gangbusters. I can't wait for the great Ayn Randian cataclysm. As a born and raised son of the South, I know how to survive without leeching on the hard work of corporate CEO's nor government handouts and I'll outlast any of these proto-adolescent, low-information, fox news agitated hacks in a survival of the fittest contest. Is it the preferred way to live, no but apparently we have lost the memories of the Great Depression and need to take an experiential trip down memory lane courtesy of the TP. Thanks guys, but I'm not trading an accountable entity that is the government for a non-accountable corporate oligarchy. That just ain't American. Now take that and shove it up your traitorous ideological pipe.

You have no idea what you are posting about do you? You haven't even read the bill's text or you would not be posting this ignorant information.

Step 1) google the bill

Step 2) Read the bill, its fairly short.

Step 3) edit your post to reflect the truth

Step 4) Carry on.

This whole thing is crazy. We just might default when we don't have to because the government is so dysfunctional. I'm shocked.

The intent is to stop giving the addict money. He will only use it for drugs.
