I know, right? I wonder if the Three Stooges know?

Hey Moe. Look at all them little red numbers whiz by...

And these morons are looking to raise the debt ceiling again. The problem is if they dont - they say - that the US will have to default on some debt. I dont know if thats true or not, but we cannot (as our governor so eloquently stated last night) sustain these democratic levels of spending. No way. Soon they will say that there is no other alternative other than to raise our tax rates through the roof or we will default on debt. I aint buying it. Let our debtors think we'll default. Let the economy crash. Let the chips fall where they may but get our country back on track. We cannot save ourselves from drowning by digging the pool deeper. We must begin to drain the water, clean up the mud, and fill in the hole.

STOP THE SPENDING NOW. DONT JUST FREEZE SOME THINGS. FREEZE IT ALL.

Well, this solves ALL my problems! I'll just rack up debt, to pay my debt, that I am already in debt trying to pay. And when they come to get me I'll just say; "Hey! It's OK, I'm a Democrat!"

Good deal Rich. I figure if I increase my spending 10 fold and borrowing double that I'll have a brand new job, house, car, and be completely out of debt this time next month...

I posted a link to that in a different thread... it's pretty aggravating watching those numbers...

The country should declare bankruptcy and be sent into receivership.

As with any corporate entity that has exhausted its usefulness, the United states' federal government should be broken up and sold off in smaller parts to be revitalized but its new owners - THE PEOPLE.

All unprofitable divisions shall be terminated effective immediately.

They want to run this country like a business? Let's run it like a business - a failed, bankrupt business.

Anyone ever hear the term "hostile takeover"?

No worries - it was in one of those dead-horse-beating threads... I'm just agreeing with you! Don't think you could post that link too many times. Maybe we could force Congress to sit and tape their eyes open and make them watch it for 24 hours... or days... whatever...

Sounds like a plan to me... Would that mean that only the taxpayers who put into the system would get any of the parts and pieces left out of it?

[wylde007]

Exactly. Paid out to those who paid in.

Congress won't reign in the Federal Reserve/Treasury because, while they put on a good show blaming each other, the reality is that they are cohorts. The Federal Reserve/Treasury finances the defect spending of Congress in exchange for preferential treatment. The Creature from Jekyll Island is a wonderful book. It shows the Federal Reserve system for what it really is; a way of maintaining control through economic slavery. The end result is the government no longer serves the people, but will and has become their master.

I don't care much for the format, but if you pay attention you just might learn something.

House Raises Debt Ceiling
By NICK WILSON

WASHINGTON (CN) - The House on Thursday raised the federal debt ceiling by nearly $2 trillion [allingeneral: actually $1.9 Trillion to be exact], in a 217-212 vote, but at the same time voted 233-187 to require that legislation be paid for. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blamed the necessity for both bills on former President Bush, who she says put a "giant mogul" in a trend of shrinking deficits.
