how they doing? what cuts have they made?

oh. none.

Jury is on on this, are they going to expand the debt past $14.5 trillion?

there is no choice. it's already been spent. it's just admitting it
has to be paid for


If I were the GOP, I would let 75% of the government shut down for 3
months. And only expand it a bit forcing the issue, debt spend less now
or be off work every 3 months.

they did that once before. they almost disappeared in the next
election.


So? Sometimes you have to do the RIGHT thing and not the GRREDY
fleabagger thing.


uh huh. more faith based economics.

But one thing they all got wrong, I strongly believe a woman owns her
own womb. Pro lifers, bunch of fanatics. Sad these zealots can't let
that go. But a small question.


yep. the prolife movement is just another big govt nanny program.


Don't worry, I am just bantering. I realize that DC and other debtor
governments at all levels have basically dug themselves a hole that none
have the guts to get out of. The only thing that will turn it around is
an eventual total collapse of government like Greece and beyond.

When people start refusing to pay taxes, it will start with civic and
state debt. State after state can't borrow, bankrupt, strikes, a mess.
At some point the currency will become hyper-inflationary and
governments will weaken by the force of economic reality. This has
already started.

It would take one very strong leadership to turn around USA Titanic at
this point.
