Imagine this for a moment. You’re on a boat in the middle of the

The boat is starting to sink. You have two choices: you could either
throw your provisions overboard or you could fix the hole. What do you
do?

Depends, if you are Obama you make the hole bigger and whine when
someone asks him to stop.

So, since Cantor is acting unethically, it's Obama's fault.


You’d better hope that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor isn’t your
captain. Fixing the hole, he would argue, is difficult. You might have
to sacrifice your seat cushion or your tailored shirt to fill the gap.
You might lose that cushy luxury or be forced to wear a mismatched
tie.

Best way to fix a hole, is to plug it not make the debt hole bigger.

Which is what Cantor isn't willing to do.

It would be much better, according to Captain Cantor, to throw
everything else overboard. The oars, your life jackets, the cooler
full of food, and heck, even some expendable children and elderly
sailors. But you could keep sitting on your cushions. Without all the
extra weight, the boat will stay afloat -- at least for a couple more
minutes.

No one has gone overboard yet. But Obama should be thinking to loose
the dead weight.

So, since Cantor is advocating throwing people under the bus or out of
the lifeboat, it's Obama's fault.

As a lead House Republican negotiator in striking a deal to raise the
nation’s debt limit -- allowing our government to pay its bills --
Cantor is steering the nation toward an economic crisis. Failure to
raise the debt limit could result in higher unemployment, force the
government to delay Social Security checks, and drastically reduce the
funding available to enforce bedrock environmental laws like the Clean
Air and Clean Water Acts.

Funny, paying bills with more debt is a shuffle game practiced by those
that are morally and financially bankrupt. No net payment of debt has
occurred. Just ponzi fraud, pay debt with even more debt you can't afford.

Funny, you've never heard of insurance. As usual, you're a moron.

Why is Captain Cantor willing to watch the boat sink? It comes back to
seat cushions. He absolutely refuses to ask polluting corporations and
millionaires to pay their fair share. Late last week, his negotiating
team rejected proposals to eliminate subsidies for big oil, corn
ethanol and private jets.

Good question. No settlement, just pay as you go. And Obama's debt
hole will not get bigger. No sense in making it worse.

PayGo is what the Republicans voted down.

Do agree, no subsidies, but I will add bailouts to it as well. No more
Obama back room bailout deals. Toss out foreign aid too. US needs aid
itself. Can't pay its bills with real money.

That would be Bush, but you're a moron.

Fact is Obama could double everyones taxes, and he would still go broke,
just a little slower.

He? More stupid comments from the rec.boats drain on society
representative.

Good part is fleabaggers that vote for this nonsense are going to get
the bills. Government gets bigger, people get smaller.

Yeah, they vote Republican. You, on the other hand, can't vote.
