Since we are at war with no end in sight against terrorism everywhere at home and abroad, the President will declare martial law and ignore Congress while he pays the bills and does whatever is necessary by executive order to protect our economies and financials while keeping the war machine running for national security. This could be the only path open to dealing with the anarchy of the Tea Party controlled House of Representatives,..... as the President is required by law to make certain that the U.S. treasury does not default on the national debt or in otherwords ensure the value of the greenback.
Am I missing anything here? I've only read a few things here and there, so I probably am not entirely knowledgeable on everything that has led up to this, but the main theme seems to be pretty clear.
Rinse. Repeat. Sorry, no more fucking soap. Make your own.
I know this is a sample size of one company, but I know this info for a fact, as ALL my co-workers are super pissed off and showing their new rates around the office. I would also say most of us are "middle class." So, anyone who thought this was a good deal for the middle class workers of this country should be shot behind the barn. Oh yeah, and our providers changed because the company that did handle our contract did not renew it.
Again, doesn't affect me as a military retiree, but I feel for everyone in my company. I can't see any silver lining in this, other than some welfare recipients get more shit, while the working class pays for it. Socialism is so fun.
Total fucking goat rope.
Obamacare is not the reason why Congressional conservative radicals, known to most of us as self-described Tea Partiers, are intent on shutting down the Federal Government and if they can also very soon prevent the raising of the debt limit. If they pull this off with their small (35 votes?) minority in the House of Representatives, the U.S. Treasury would be forced to default on our national debt, thus probably trashing the greenback and plunging America and the rest of the modern World into economic/financial failure the likes of which we haven't seen since the Great Depression or worse.
Why would Tea Party congressmen do such a thing? As far fetched as it seems, these radicals have got themselves elected on a political ideology or theology that promises to change the Federal Government by destroying it as we now know it with a kind of apocalyptic anarchist agenda or program. These conservative radicals represent perhaps one-half of one-third of Republican voters in the USA and as such have no chance of legislating the Federal reforms they and other less-radical conservatives have long promised, and thus must resort demolition and rebuild instead.
With radical anarchic methods, they have been able so far to rule in the House and block any vote on a reasonable Federal budget.
Obamacare which is a law the GOP claims to still want repealed, after repeated votes to do so that could never pass in the Senate nor override a Presidential veto, is only the poison pill they hope against hope we will all swallow as their justification for shutting down and demolishing the government they so hate. The Tea Party radical's true purpose is to take our Federal Government down even if it's necessary to destroy our economy and financials to get that done by weakening our national government's huge monetary power. No wonder some states such as Texas are talking about succeeding from the union. It's too bad the Lincoln's GOP didn't hang all confederate leaders and Dixie democrats after the Civil War for it's beginning to smell like......... they're baaack.
Once you understand that the reason liberals and conservatives hate each other, is the fact that each ideology is willing to use the state in order to force their agenda and beliefs on others, then you will have an idea what the real problem is. And it isn't the partisan shit you outlined.
HTH
Better check under your bed for the boogeyman.
But only partially. After 21 plus years in the Army and being a payroll guy since I was 14 I decided to take a knee. Am on a VA program with the post 911 Bill. Going back to school to get my PhD to help fellow vets. Was going to live off a combination of unemployment (drawn for the first time ever in my mid-40s) my 911 stipend and weekend drill pay which amounted to about a third what I made as an active duty Officer but doable. My tuition was paid as well.
Well none of those sources of income will be available after this week. Unemployment is not being paid next week. All Reserve and National Guard units are told to cancel weekend Battle Assembly this month. No stipends and no tuition checks.
Indeed I am temporarily living off the govt fun bag. No argument. Hopefully I earned that.
I'll be fine I grew up in a TUFF logger town in Lewis County. With hairdressers. I don't need no sympathy. I'll figure it out. But this issue isn't just shutting down things that should be.
Oh, and this "crisis" won't go on long before it's spending like usual. Don't worry, your plans need not change.
Yeah it's the tea party
People are fucking stupid
