#1 "Last year, just the threat of not lifting the debt ceiling caused our credit rating to be lowered."

Can't say I'm shocked that our credit rating didn't go back up after the debt ceiling was raised.

#2 Maybe we'll be like Greece + start imploding only when mainstream Amer voters are finally formally asked to vote on joining the NAU that Politicos keep denying.

#3 Seems... responsible of Boehner to start the negotiations now rather than wait for the last minute.

Anyway, the debt limit hit around November is fitting because it is a huge part of what this election and the vision for the future of America is all about.

#4 Just a couple of weeks ago the regime administration was talking about how they had started taking in more money than they had spent.

Gee I wonder how we could have gone from that situation back to deficit spending so quickly.

(Yes, it's got the gorb-patented invisible snark tag after that last sentence.)

#5 Can the government spend money more wisely than the person who earned it???

No. So the more bureaucrat directed the economy is, the poorer it is.
