Okay..that's a statement. Specify which was the pork.

US Debt Predictions for Aug. 2.
- Thread starter Hot Mega
- Start date
Uh...okay.:dunno:
Wow, just wow. Pelosi's pork is responsible for the debt now?
Let's checkout some actual numbers, notice something there? It dropped dramatically after Dems took over Congress and you were saying?

I would rather say that the media has failed given the fact that most people who are worried about debt and deficits do not even know where it is coming from.
Very nice pic, papagmp!
To ****** some humour:
The debt ceiling has been raised many times in recent history. Of course that isn't a necessary case for just willy nilly spending and raising it but if the GOPers allow the country to suffer the ramifications of default just because they refuse to raise it...THEN tackle what they have a problem with... I just frankly don't know what we should then do about them.
It is unfortunate that it takes this for some people to see what lengths GOPers will go to just for the sake of politics. You would have thought the obviousness of that was visible when they defended Bush going around FISA courts and then giving him a blank check on Iraq...but noooooooo....
By comparison...GOPers made the (weak) case against letting the Bush tax cuts expire and Demos, against their better judgment and politics played ball with them...now look what happened...

Excellent points - the GOP is who is being revealed to be divided and unable to accomplish anything. The Dems have conceded a lot, but it just isn't enough for the GOP wankers.
C'mon, people. Think of your constituents.

I think the GOP do not have a good game plan and are burdened by their ideology and the mental midgets in the Tea Party, however, they are trying to address the issue and not just let it go.
Business as usual is to commit to spending now and fall short on a promise to reduce spending later. That isn't partisan, that is across the board.
Everyone is to blame for this. This should have been worked out a while ago. I don't care about the finger pointing and excuses. I would fire a team in my company if they put me in this situation. Anyone who is defending anyone in Washington looks to me like they sold out.
They need to grab some cases of Sam Adams and get this damn thing done, NOW.
Once they are done, they need to turn some heat on Moody's and S&P and see if there is cause to sue them for interfering in our political system.

Logical but not practical in this case. This is tantamount to playing around with paying the rent just because you want your wife to promise you she'll cut back on her spa visits first...WHILE you refuse to take on more hours at work to pay the bills for your previous shopping spree at home depot.
You think it's wise to get the eviction papers, pay the extra money you already don't have in late fees, legal fees, etc. Then injure your credit with the eviction to the point that it affects your future financing??
True...but everyone isn't to blame for this....get it?

Major Crimes? Shiiiit.
Is it really that big a surprise when the rich manufacturers sold the U.S out in order to increase their profits. Shipping containers come in the U.S full and go out empty. The U.S used to make so many quality products that are primarily made in Asia now. It is the gluttony of the rich and lack of regulations on the "free market" perpetrated especially by the Republican Party that caused the subprime mortgage crisis. Lending money to people who can't really afford the payments. Genius?
