Topic: Obama demands another 1.2 trillion

[Pandora]

The White House plans to ask Congress by the end of the week for an increase in the government’s debt ceiling to allow the United States to pay its bills on time, according to a senior Treasury Department official on Tuesday.

And since when is the Executive branch in charge of spending?

Arrrrrggggghhhhhhh.

Don't understand what all y'all worried about.
Mytch said, just the other day, that he and the
senate got the situation well in hand.

Beats cryin'!

(I can't wait to see when the credit markets run dry...who's gonna have anything to throw after our paper?  Everybody is going to have to run their printers overtime, and that will make the collapse several orders of magnitude more interesting...)

Well, speaking of Mytch, we can thank him and his fellow senators for laying the path to right here in the manner of which they "solved" the debt ceiling debacle.

That cheap Chicago Ward Heeler never had so much money to play with in his whole life !

Another $1.2 trillion?  I think I read in a recent Mark Steyn article on the national debt that President Obama and Senator Harry Reid have no intention of paying back the $15 trillion in debt.
Expect hyper-inflation of the dollar like the Wiemar Republic or Zimbabwe.

The central bankers, Neo-Keynsian's all it appears, boxed themselves into a corner and all they can do is print more paper, they have no stomach to tell the politicians controlling the feed trough that the good times are over...so it's all just a race to the bottom at this point and Kabuki theater gobbledegook to the masses to keep them thinking happy happy thoughts.

Ship of state vs sand bar or rocky reef.

Rocky reef, but it's under water and their eyes aren't so good...out of sight out of mind...

Mostly out of their minds...

You make that sound like quite an accomplishment when they just rolled over for a belly rub.

It's like rubbing a gators belly, once you know how to do it, it's easy to replicate, and like a prehistoric critter, they are powerless to stop it!
