re: #25 albusteve

what we need to do is get more people back to work, increase the revenue flow, and tackle the debt problem from a more positive, manageable position…chronic unemployment is by far the bigger problem, but takes the back seat to the fake drama unfolding over the debt…sometime I think the whole thing is trumped up for TV, hence re-electon

I was feeling pretty confident that this was all bluster and formality but I’m getting increasingly nervous. I think the Republicans might be broken down enough that they may not be able to act even if they wanted to. This may come down to the unprecedented move of raising the debt ceiling by presidential decree.
