@ecwaufisxtreme Honestly I'm not sure if people like this are trolling anymore because this is exactly the same drivel that her real supporters spout.

Some days I get discouraged.

My only hope is they run out of time and Harry Reid says, "We don't have time to negotiate, so we have to have a clean debt ceiling raise."

[romanmir01]

This was a consensus between ignorant idiots, who believe that government spending can actually improve economy by creating real jobs.

The Tea Party LOST in this deb ceiling deal, as the politicians who represented them ALLOWED the raising of the debt ceiling, which must have never been raised, because the real crisis was never the debt ceiling.

Ceiling was going to help to avert the crisis.

The real crisis is the debt.

@pirucreek That's not how inflation works. Back to school.

[pirucreek]

Debt ceiling $2.4 trillion increase. That is $7814 per person in inflation tax. If you have a $10,000 in cash these sobs just took $1679.03 out of your savings.

@theorganichispanic explain please.

You're mixing your metaphors, Trey Ellis.

Well Obama caved again, are we surprised?

The funny thing is THIS time liberal political pundits are actually being critical of Obama by asking, "What the hell is he doing?"

Of course, you have the unwavering Obama supporters that think Obama is a genius even though he caves over and over and over again. Their argument this time, "We've got them right where we want them because they'll take the fall for ruining all our social programs!"

Except we won't have any social programs left. Fun.
