R's don't realize that our economy affects everyone elses

the democrats in the senate could pass an amended version of the bill, meaning they could pass the bill under the same name but could include/exclude whatever they want.


then there would be a conference hearing between the senate and house to iron out the differences in the two bills, which is where the compromise would happen and all the worthless scare tactics could finally be put to rest.
 
Oh wow

Most Voters Are Unhappy With Both Sides in the Debt Ceiling Debate

Most Voters Fear Debt Deal Will Raise Taxes Too Much, Cut Spending Too Little
 
Yes, I'm saying that the R voters by and large are tired of sticking themselves with the bill for programs that R POLITICIANS helped approve.
 
This entire thing confuses me. From where I sit it looks a lot like the reason we are borrowing money is because we owe money.
That makes zero sense to me. Like me opening a credit card account because I don't have the cash to pay my mortgage.

I must be wrong about that because so few people are talking about it.

The other thing you said is 'There WILL be a reset.'.

What exactly does that mean? Are you suggesting a great depression? A new currency? Our existing currency being back by something (umm gold maybe?)?
 
I wish you'd fucking kill yourself, your fucking drivel is as disgusting as a retard who shits all over the walls of a public bathroom and then runs to tell his mommy because he's so proud of himself
 
By "reset" I mean, the standard of living for Americans at large will shift downward. We can do another round of quantitative easing (print more money) along with borrowing "a little lesss more than last time" and then rinse, repeat, for about 50 years, and that would slowly put us back on the right track. The problem is that the politicians have a hard-on for buying votes for their next few years in office, so they can't come to grips with doing things that oppose that goal (of buying votes).

The other thing that could happen is a catastrophic failure, where we really do default, a bunch of countries get all pissed off and dump our debt or demand repayment in something other than Federal Reserve Notes, and the government begins confiscating land and crops from American farms to pay the debt back to avoid war or the loss of real estate. Along with that, there would be HUGE reductions in the market manipulation that takes place with oil and other commodities, AND a huge reduction in all the BS services that the government provides AND a huge reduction in taking from this state to give to that state. Very few people could deal with that kind of scenario, and cities would be burned to the ground.
That would really suck.
 
The President is supposed to take the lead regarding the budget, and Obama's performance has been a national erabarrassment.

Of course a constitutional amendment won't pass but the White House and the Senate need to get their act together and propose something. You can't know what is acceptable if one side refuses to propose legislation.
 
But, I thought the Dems didn't propose anything yet?!?!? Well, aside from a bi-partisan gang of six approach that was crushed by the right merely because Obama liked it. Was it perfect? No, but it lowered the tax rate, increased revenue and lowered they deficit by 3.7 trillion dollars according to the CBO. To me, that is at least a start and something to build upon.

If it is a loophole that directly benefits/shows favoritism to one industry over another, I say close it. I truly think that GE can afford to pay a little more in taxes every year and they are tied very tightly with the energy industry. Yes, that is ONE example of the industry, but given the FACT that they paid $0.00 last year I firmly believe the tax code that affects them directly is messed up and neeRAB to be changed to increase revenue. If that makes me no longer a fiscal conservative then so be it.
