I'm NOT happy to see me and my family's stock market holdings gain a net of 0 since December of last year.

There was absolutely no reason to raise the debt ceiling.
So the U.S. should have reneged on its bills, you know the bills authorized by Congress earlier this year?

Well, up until about Friday much of the blue part of America was crowing about the irrelevancy of the Tea Party.

That's a lotta hate for what... irrelevant?

Eh, Fred Phelps is an irrelevant old bigot, and yet the Phelps are the most hated family in America.

Relevancy isn't required to hate a vocal opposition.

What bills? Half the "bills" are new programs drummed up the last 2 years for redundant federal programs and employees. Yes, they would not get paid, but I'd rather that happen than loose massive amounts of investment value and/or not pay our SS/medicare/military obligations.

Raising the debt ceiling was about one thing. Expanding the federal budget and power.

There was no chance of a 'default'!

The Default scare tactic worked on the less educated so the bass-turds got their DEBT ceiling raised!

Now let me go and look for one or two of those little 'rolleyes' icons.
(You know the one, you used it when you thought that you were being .. intelligent)rolleyes
