So its as simple as the Republicans deliberatly putting a spanner in the works of the Obama crew?
Bloody hell-thats cold to the average American citizen-using their future security as a weapon to hurt the dems...
Jeez-politicians,sick truckers-they would all be serial killers if there was no such job as politician IMO.

What would happen if this dragged onto next year?


It will force the U.S. Government to spend only the money it takes in.
[ that's already been happening to an extent ]

There's enough to function. And the U.S. has plenty of resources.

The issue is that they can't *borrow* any more.

If U.S. Treasury securities fall in *price* on the open markets, the Federal Reserve can buy at a deep discount.

Therefore, the foreign banking interests will get stuck with a slight loss.
[ Awww. Too bad so sad ]

Wait until the US gets downgraded later today, it's all getting very exciting.

Well, right until the 11:59 deal that will magically appear that is.

Smoke and mirrors.

No Christmas, no new years, for the United States.

While the rest of the world has Christmas and New Years.
That will be a first not seeing any of your Christmas pagans on TV.

its let the government defalt now or 5 year from now with more pain. I pick now.

Obama wants to be the POTUS when the SHTF so he can be safe and sound 150 feet underground with a decade worth of food supply.


At least You'll have a Camaro


No food, though...

It won't be that bad for the government at least-they know how to generate billions for black ops projects remember.They can just ramp up their more nefarious import export businesses all over the globe.

But the average folk in the US won't see a cent of that cash,unless in the form of paramilitary cops all over the place...IMO.

Its not good,for anyone in the developed world-all our economies are dependent upon the US being able to borrow like there's no tomorrow..
If that changes the deck gets reshuffled and all the usual players line up to jostle for power.

By constitutional law under the 14th amendment, our interest on debts must be paid for. This would mean that if we did go over the doom porn date of October 17th, that our bond interest debts will still be paid by law unless Obama orders them not to be paid. This would brake constitutional law and is an impeachable offence.

The government brings in something like 300 billion dollars a month in tax revenue. Our interest on the debt is only 30 billion dollars a month. It can be prioritized. Its all fear mongering.

This statement is what we should all be thinking about...


White House spokeswoman Amy Brundage said the plan is a "partisan attempt to appease a small group of Tea Party Republicans who forced the government shut down in the first place".


The Tea Party? The Tea Party? When did they become so powerful? They are entering the fray here as a scapegoat. Remember, the Tea Party was basically labelled as a 'terrorist organization' with its views on the government.

Now, you have a spokesperson saying that it is them that is causing all of this. So, tell me, do you see where this is going? Anyone?

Look at this list...
Link

Notice not all of them are part of it or affiliated but it is a large list folks. These people are now enemies of the state.

How are they able to 'close down the government' but cannot get anything else done? Why, because it is the current administration that wants this.

EBT runs fine for years, it switches companies and crashes? No, it was a test to see if they could turn it on/off as easily as they did, in specific areas and what the reaction would be.

This is all a huge show and I really hope the end game is not what some of us feel it will be.

You know, if the American people and the American congress started treating the shutdown more like a shutdown and less like an episode of survivor, maybe we'd get something done.

Seriously, this is just ridiculous. Who's at fault?

If you think it's the democrats, watch Fox News.

If you think it's the GOP, watch CNN.

If you think it's Obama, keep your mouth shut and get back to your Huxleyan existence while the Orwellian nonsense goes on behind the scenes.

Whatever network you watch, watch tonight to see who gets voted off the hill!

The glorious great one will not budge one micron and his worthless, has not formed a budget since 2006 senate has got his back. unfrigginbeliveable.... Who cannot see this for what it REALLY is??? This joke of a leader and his professional rip-off artist want to spend spend spend, and blame the other side when it crashes, and it will. ALL the rebublicans want to do is be more responsible, and not burden future generations with this no way to fund ACA. Any child can see this is the game preceding the mid terms and our back stabbing media will not call them on it.....Traitors, people, wake up to this game, it is you and your childrens future. If ACA is so great why are all of the politicians and big business execs want no part of it?? WHY?

Haven't you been following what has been going on?

Yep! I sure have! If the the Democrats hadn't forced "Obamacare" down the throats of US citizens, the government, most likely, wouldn't be "shut down" at this time.

Why are you ignoring Mr. Oblamer's refusal to negotiate? I see that as nothing less than being extremely partisan.

See ya,
Milt

This is the biggest deb---acle EVER!

Bigger than the debt even!

Chicken Little would be impressed.

The debt sky ceiling is falling!

Oh no, its falling!

You guys have the most assinine system I've ever seen. A government does not have the mandate via the vote on their bills or legistlature or budget, to bring in something no one wants, and the result.....they're still in office, they shut down the country and bankrupt whole households and threaten everyone.

In Canada they're tossed, and interim steps in and another election is called because they lost mandate to govern.

You guys have a messed up system!

If the GOP really cared. Then they would stop using this government shutdown which they caused as a bargaining chip to change obamacare.

If Mr. Oblamer REALLY cared, he would stop being the PARTISAN IN CHIEF!

See ya,
Milt


Ummmm....okay


Kindly explain what that had to do with my statement.

See ya,
Milt

So Obama would rather keep the shutdown going, cap the debt ceiling (a good idea) instead of not signing in a new tax?

Just goes to show where his priorities are.
