What will happen if they don't raise the debt ceiling? Will society collapse into a living nightmare? Or will I still be able to look at porn?
Global collapse and probably not.

In 2006, a tax cut for the 200,000-aires and 250,000-aires was not even part of the political dialogue.way back in 2006.
way back when the economy was not in a recession.
way back when the only reason the republicans wanted to raise the debt ceiling was because they wanted some way to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest americans.
barack obama called it what it was. lack of leadership. it was irresponsible to pay for tax cuts by borrowing money when times were good, and it's still irresponsible now. that's why we need to end tax cuts for the people who can afford to pay taxes.
thank you for that example.
There is nothing symbolic in a 'nay' vote. It was not recorded as symbolic. Just 'nay.'It's one thing for a senator to symbolically vote against it. It's another thing entirely for a political party to actually hold it up for the purpose of weakening our economy. That has never been done, and for good reason. It was not a serious issue in 2006 nor has it ever been until the republicans decided it was a good way to sink the economy so it will be easier to elect a republican.

What IS significant is that the good Senator was not even there to vote 'present' on the subsequent votes in 2007 and 2008.
Now that's symbolic.![]()

It was the war in Iraq the Democrats were focused on then.
How things have changed.

Political parties ruin our country. That being said, you guys miss the fact that the main reason it's not being voted for is because they want the spending budget to take large decreases. Sounds logical to me.
If I were in congress I wouldn't allow our country to sink deeper into debt whilst spending the same amount of, or more, money. I mean seriously, how can you guys possibly think that a country can be healthy and prosperous when we incur trillions of dollars in debt and continue to increase our debt without making spending cuts?
Would this make sense to do in your homebudget?
the federal reserve is the primary buyer of treasury securities because that way it has more control over our monetary policy.
Ignorant BS. The Federal Reserve does not get first shot at Treasuries. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR THE FED TO PURCHASE TREASURIES DIRECTLY FROM THE GOVERNMENT!!!!!!! LOOK IT UP!!!!!!! Primary Dealers Are the ones who get first crack.yet more pile of shit lies.
the federal reserve is the primary buyer of treasury securities because that way it has more control over our monetary policy. the treasury department puposefully offers the fed a shot at the treasury notes first and they buy them up b/c no matter how much you say that the US is in danger,
THE SAFEST INVESTMENT YOU CAN GET IS A US TREASURY SECURITY. just because we have a black guy in the white house doesn't change that.
fucking alarmism. you can shove it right up that dramatic ass of yours....
To be fair, the Bank of Japan did the same thing during the lost decade.Ever heard of QE before this economic tumble ?
I always get ticked off when some republican or tea partier claims that Obama or any other dem "wants America to fail". Just the notion that any of our leaders could want our nation to fail is absurd to me. And yet, I believe you are right. I think republicans really do want such a thing.
lol, and how did THAT end? I'll tell you , it ended up with a major disaster and 20% of the nation being uninhabitable for the next 500 generations!! Everyone knows that QE ends in nuclear disaster, just look at Japan!!To be fair, the Bank of Japan did the same thing during the lost decade.
You can't "FIX" unemployment unless you can make the rest of the world start buying made in the USA products. Especially Americans.
I Absolutely agree, Neither side wants what is best for the country. Each side wants what is best for themselves.Well there are lots of things we can do to help it. But we aren't doing those things, instead we are discussion options to make it worse, which is nuts.
