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. |

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? -- What government fears the most is that the people correctly learn that they need government less than the government needs them. Say no more debt, no more debt-slave taxes. Economic freedom matters too! |

Funny, the right wing freaks in the House don't want to plug any holes... well, any financial holes.

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. 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. You're a moron and devoid of economic sense. Sort of like punching a second hole in the boat because you think the first one isn't big enough. Talk to your Republican tea bag friends. 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. 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. Funny, you're a fool. |

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. |
