Also, they are threatening to bring down the economic system because of their adherence to no taxes for the rich, they don’t really care about the deficit. If they had they would have made a deal with Obama.

The only good that can come from a default is that people finally will see the Tea party and their Republican conservative matrix for what they truly are.

Thats it with the left isian't it ?If you don't agree or adhere to Obama and his socialist agenda then you must be trying to destory America,............is that all you have for talking points these days??

I would like to see this default you fear mongers keep pushing,everything else the left has said would "destory America" has been a lie so YA lets get it over with and go all in with this and see bothsides for what they truely are..........................I think THAT is the true fear of the progressive left is that they will finally be seen for who they truely are.

Why do people not get it? This is really easy to see. Every person who works and has their own household should be able to understand this whole thing.

We spend more than we make.
We need to stop spending so much and live within our means.
You can't get out of debt by borrowing more money.

If you as a person woke up one morning and lost your income for any length of time you would eventually have to file bankruptcy because you could not afford to pay the bills. Our country is in this situation. It's time to face reality and get hour proverbial s**t together. It's not a right vs. left thing, it's economics and finance 101. PERIOD!

I have a novel idea on dealing with the "debt crisis".

For years BigGov has noticed we are close to the debt limit and INCREASED the limit DOZENS of times.

Each time we are told by BigGov, "...we are now going to get it under control."...they don't.

Obviously we don't cure the "debt crisis" with more debt.

This time lets JUST SAY...

It's not enough to say "Stop the debt"

You have to root out and remove all evil people in the government, who give tech to the enemy, and bankrupt us in the process.

Good luck with that, because you elect them regularly.

I would suggest this solution: Simply begin electing children.

Yes, because you see, if you elect say five kids per state (or whatever), to be your Congressboys and Congressgirls, you can thereby accomplish two goals. 1: You can preserve the COTUS and all the machinery of government, while 2: reducing waht you EXPECT OTHER PEOPLE TO DO.

Get it? So by electing children, you are essentially saying that you expect nothing from the Congress, and also the Senate, the Judiciary, etc. Elect kids, and it will force the adults, to finally think.

If you don't do this, then you will be forever doomed to having adults and their schemes, rule you. You can never, ever elect people, who will carry out your wishes. Don't you get it yet? You cannot ever, ever, expect some dude or gal, to be elected, and then go do what you say. Won't happen. The only way forward is to agree on this point, and then elect children, so that you the people will still have to make the actual decisions, or to help the Congresskids and Senatekids, decide. See?

So some might say "How silly! Why bother electing the kids at all and going through the motions?" and to this I would say, "Because you need figureheads, and the best figureheads, are children." Just like Jesus said "If you do not become like this little child, you will not get into heaven." Well what did he mean by that?

Many of these problems today, we are all charmed when some little kid innocently explains how dumb adults are. YES, and do we have the wisdumb, to listen?? Face it y'all: Politicians and lobbyists, are poison we've sewn into the bones of our governmental systems. I am saying that the only way to purge the system, is to hand it over to the next generation immediately, and to actually listen to them, and to build a world according to what they say. It will be for us, as adults, to wonder and marvel at the things our child leaders will say in this future I describe. I am saying this will happen eventually. The only question is, what generation of adults will be wise enough to understand this solution? There are so so many adults, and disciples of Jesus as well, who would shove the kids to the side and tell them to shut up. That, is anti-Christ.

Oh look.The blame game.

That's so 90s.

my god this is the worst thread on what is rapidly becoming the real Internet Hate Machine


I mean really, the first page is nothing but maniacs of the exact sort pointed out in the OP. They're capitalist fundie moonbats, footsoldiers in the cyber-army of the super-rich. Gross. Is ATS just a Tea Party echochamber? A faux-libertarian circlejerk?
