DEBT CEILING DEFAULT

Both sides are taking a dive in the polls including the president, Barack Obama's approval rating hit 37% early last week.

Congress was down to a 5% approval rating at the same time.

Wow, I said smaller government, a typical repugnican slogan (that is 100% lies) but somehow you interpret that as abolition?

Of course I'd prefer abolition, no doubt, but since you yourself would want a smaller government I made that example above for people like yourself. If you can't face the facts that no elected official is ever going to remove a single law off the books then don't go calling us crazy extremist factions for not lowering our expectations down to the depths of where yours reside.

I think the reason some people tend to call people such as yourself extremists is because we in fact have examples of countries with with smaller governments and they are not the havens you seem to think ours would be.
 
We got until midnight before the US begins to default, boys!

So I wonder what little amendments and provisions will get shoved through, when they miraculously reach a deal at 11:45pm tonight, without even 5% of the house or senate reading the bill?

What a joke...
 
That was some big-budget awesomeness. Thanks for the share!



I just wonder if i should sell my bitcoin before then...
Yeah, do that. Do it quick, before the world finds out that those communist Chinese started rapidly adopting bitcoin on Monday when Baidu started accepting payments in bitcoin. -The world hates China, so this should really tank the price of BTC, right? :hollering:
 
I'm coming to terms with the fact that I don't understand what the fuck is happening and don't have the time to care.

So here's a gif that is just as valuable as my opinion on the matter!

While no one in their right mind LIKES the fact that the debt is growing, just posting the raw numbers without accounting for inflation or at least growth in GDP is just silly. And in case you can't tell, the growth is tapering off.

So now debt is actually lowering with Obama in charge LOL:hollering:
 
It is on the internet and it looks pretty, so it is true. Don't go fucking shit up with your facts and information.

Sit down. be quiet, and beLIEve what you are told like a good American.
 
You people sound like complete and utter nutjobs. There is a very real disagreement currently occurring in Washington; Boehner will cave, but there is a growing faction within the Republican Party that is openly defying him.

You're the equivalent of the homeless man, drooling in the corner saying "everyone is the same" because it excuses him from actually paying attention to the situation and discerning the nuances of it.

I will be surprised to see if Boehner has the votes for his proposal, personally. There is no need to convince the populace of anything, because the citizenry don't have the power to affect the politicians. Isn't that what you people are always saying? That there's no point in voting, because there's no difference between the politicians? And yet for some reason, you simpletons say the politicians try to pretend they're different in order to stop the people from... voting. It's all very circular and illogical.

Regardless of the show, the vast majority of republicans still desire big government.
 
Deal is imminent, finally boener and oboner came to some kind of agreement from the news networks, funny shit is we owe so much interest to china, not sure if I want to laugh or cry about it.

Ok, I was wrong. It was 10:14pm they reached a deal, not 11:45pm.

Bet there's a clause or two in that bill that would piss alot of people off, including congressmen and senators.
 
prove out. specific percentages would be nice. of course, those "won't be available".
He doesn't need to provide specific percentages to demonstrate to you that repugnican congressleeches want a bigger government... It's the easiest thing in the world to demonstrate:

When was the last time you ever heard of a congressman, from either side of the aisle, REMOVE a law from the books?

More laws, more government. It's that simple.
