Default imagine you're on a sinking ship....

Imagine this for a moment. You’re on a boat in the middle of the
ocean, and you notice a hole in the hull where water is pouring in.
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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

I would fill the hole with your ample head. Stop the leak and stifle the
mouth that runnith over.


Instead of letting Obama make the hole bigger, perhaps Obama's mouth can
plug the $4T++ hole?


You have a lot of experience using your mouth and not much else.

Funny, I would plug the hole to stem the inflow of life threatening DEBT.

Paying debt with more ponzi fraud debt isn't really paying debt. It is
usually what people do just before they really go bankrupt. But
Obama-Bernanke take it one step further and counterfeit the US currency
to add to the pain.

Sort of like punching a second hole in the boat because you think the
first one isn't big enough.

Funny, at this pint it may be inevitable. Fact is USA is severely
exposed to a thing called a currency run. You are economically weak
just as Pearl Harbor was asleep.

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

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

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

Cantor is steering the nation toward an economic crisis. Failure to

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

PayGo is what the Republicans voted down.

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

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

It's nice to see she's finally agreeing with the vast majority of the thinking population.
