“A solid plan for moving forward” Boehner is so full of crap: The “Tea Party plan” is going absolutely nowhere, and everybody knows it. Even the Republicans in the Senate would vote against it if they thought it had any chance of passing. (Social Security & Medicare are still “third rail” deadly to touch!)

The House Republicans need to stop their masturbatory fantasies and think about reality. They only control one of the houses of Congress, so however the default is to be avoided it has to pass in the Senate and not get vetoed.

Time to quit posing for the Fox News cameras, and pass something real.

After our $13 trillion bail out bonanza the least they could do is forgive us this paltry $1.6 trillion.

It still comes down to the American citizen is getting “yanked” around again by those who are supposed to represent the very people they continually deceive.

Strong words?
Merely an observation.

It’s like a bad soap opera that actually DOES have an effect on your life.

Plenty of flesh in Washington, fattened all these years devouring the productive class.

More taxes! The Beast needs its sustenance! It needs to feed…

Creditors rarely if ever forgive debt without getting their pound of flesh. Bernanke’s shadowy controllers will never allow it to happen. : |

Paul’s Rx is a good one, but it’s so radical that no one will accept the idea. They can’t wait for him to exit Congress and also to lose his next bid for election then hopefully hightail it back to Texas never to be heard from again.

I like Ron Paul’s idea of forcing the Fed to destroy it’s $1.6 trillion in US Treasury debt bonds as a better option than anything else I’ve heard. It would at least provide more time for a real solution versus these knee jerk reactions to throw out our checks and balances and create a virtual dictatorship ala the McConnell plan.
