um......yeah......I was in a coma for 3 months with a massive TBI
good. this will let the republicans save face by saying they were against the increase, and let obama get the increase in without any deals having to be made.
smoke and mirrors.....band aid on a broken leg
And allow the GOP a massive political victory where they get to paint Obama and the Democrats as the sole reason why the national debt limit is raised? Jeez, that's akin to political suicide right now, especially as polls are coming out that have the American public putting "cutting government spending" ahead of default on their priority list... Remember, Bachmann is claiming that the government shouldn't raise the debt ceiling at all..... This might be.ultimately how it goes down, but I wouldn't bet too much money on it.
The republicans are not not going to raise the debt limit. May they not not choke to death on their own smug righteousness.
While true, I doubt this will be the story line at the end of the day.
Don't know, its reported that the House Dems have not agreed to get on board a GOP plan on raising the debt limit. Basically the vote is toxic to Republicans, so it would go like this: GOP puts agreement up to vote, most GOP vote no, all Dems and a few moderate Republicans vote yes, bill passes and all of the GOP get to claim moral superiority to their base, and can bash the Democrats as causing massive deficits.
They are going to do that anyway so it doesn't matter. This debt hysteria is coming from the same party that explicitly argued that deficits don't matter during the Bush years. It doesn't make a lick of difference as they seem to be able to wield a phoney cudgel as effectively as a real one.
I think the unspoken word on the end of Cheney's remark "Reagan proved deficits don't matter" was "politically."
They won't for the Tea Party. They might because the Chamber of Commerce told them to stop listening to retards who believe that the world is 6000 years old and that Jesus is a climate change solution.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong but I would like to point out that the payroll tax is the one tax you cannot avoid. Earn your living by anything other than a 9-5 and there are so many tax dodges you would have to be an idiot to pay very much to Uncle Sam. I do not plan on working much over the next few years I have been shocked to see the tax benefits I get on the non-work related income. All the folks out there who work for a living and vote on tax cuts are getting ripped off by the scam of the century.Bleeding us dry.
I am no mathematician but I bet thats a pretty damn big number, I am also no statistician but I am pretty sure there are several nut cases like my self on there last string of sanity that would probably snap into a PTSD rage.

unless it's a she....she has carmel/mocha colored skin....and is in need of a set of tits...no.
Bullsh!t. The decision to hire people is a matter of consumer demand. If there's demand for my product to the point that I have to hire another person to keep up, I'll do it in a heartbeat regardless of my tax situation. Similarly, if there's no demand for my goods, I'm not hiring anyone even if the federal government shoves another $500 into my pocket with the "hope" that I'll create jobs. Corporations are sitting on record amounts of cash because the Federal government has thrown money at them, and they've said "thank you" and just pocketed it.
worst case is, they'll delay our checks, but not ditch 'em
Please stop listening to whoever it is you listen to.
starting with you?
