  The Reporter really nailed it down.  This debt limit is all phony.  But the one thing I thought was interesting is the fight is about money that has already spent and OK ed by congress and it's Obama duty to pay for this bill.

  And to think the Republicans want to pay for this shortage caused by George W. with money from the backs of the middle class, poor and sick.

  Just think the two wars, the damn unpaid for drug plan, tax cuts to the super rich and corporate welfare.   But the Rich, corporations and the military war complex isn't to pay anything according to the Republican/Tea Party fools.  :rant:

2 wars?  I believe Bush only had one going the other one is Obama's so don't even try that one.  Guess ya'll missed Obama's speech a couple of weeks ago where he said if the budget wasn't passed his health care bill couldn't be funded.  That is not money already spent that is new debt.

  Can you believe what she just said.  You know in the civil war they had a 50 caliber black powder rifle.  It required 14 grain of black powder to shoot a full round of ammunition.  If you didn't put enough powder in you got a short round.  In other words a round of ammunition that fell short of the target.

  Well "ME" is 14 grain short of a full round.  The damn ball didn't even get out of the barrel.  :rotfl:  :rotfl:  :rotfl:

You don't spend what you don't have. So if we want to spend, we'll need to find somewhere else to cut, This is the rule that families across this country follow every single day, and there's no reason why their government shouldn't do the same."
