So will the house controlled by the tea party refuse to raise the debt limit pushing the USA toward a default on it's debts ?

Or will they wimp out and raise the debt limit so all those tea party supporters can keep getting their SS and medicare ?

My bet, they will wimp out as it gets closer to the final day and their supporters realise it will hurt them.
Oh, my another ranting post telling lies.

But I thought the stimulus was supposed to accomplish that? Reid, Obama, and Pelosi said we'd be having millions of shovel ready jobs and unemployment dropping below 8% with it

I should have known that. I did not get my monthly subscription to "nutjob conspiracy theories" this month. I think there was an article on After birthers in this months edition. Let me run to the mailbox.

Do you remember the Health Care protests? Remember the folks in the funny colonial costumes, carrying automatic weapons, and signs saying "Keep government away from my Medicare"? Well guess what- they're in Congress now .

I hope Obama's got the balls to invoke National Emergency powers and order our debts paid. No cuts, no tax increases. Just pay the damn bills.

@#$% the "Tea Party". This #$%@ isn't even funny anymore.
