The thing is too, we're big boys and girls, right? Just because the debt wasn't "held hostage" before, doesn't mean we get to cry foul. (I'm from NY, so it is an art form to complain and I respect that.) Even Reagan had to plea for a rise in the debt limit.
While I think the House Republicans...
Not sure if I should be offended by the "right wing views" comment. I may be gullible, but I think your interest is genuine.
I've belonged to the Deomocratic and Republican parties, but belong to neither now. I think of myself as a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. What I am is...
I get the whole "I appreciate your post" thing about rep. I give it to say that.
Other than that, pardon my post-**** grumpiness, but who gives a ****?
lol...I think we're voicing our disgust. I need a ****.
As I said, the Republicans are going to use it for leverage, we'll see what the Democrats do.
Very well. I blame you. ;)
150 on average adds and I'll round it to 2% growth, maybe a little higher is slow growth. It is growth, but not knocking the cover off the ball. We need to tap into the cash and turn it into investment. The only way to get out of the debt mess is to grow.
Not finger pointing from me, so don't...
Good place to start.
What do you mean "But"? We're all saying the same thing. Unless you think it was a great idea and unavoidable to run up the debt?
Lets face it, we can all agree on not using the debt ceiling as leverage and that the debt ceiling is antiquated at best, but the Republican...
I speak from experience. You don't have to be smart to have an acedemic career and teach others.
I know there were words in Mandy's post, but my eyes kept being diverted elsewhere. ;)
No, we should not debate if we're going to pay our bills and it should not be used as leverage to ***** other legislation.
I think the short term politics is nothing more than squabbling. It could have a big negative impact, but it is pointless.
We should eliminate the ceiling because it is a...
Well, the House approved it.

...and yes, I believe this includes the $150 for Alaskan Fisheries (seems out of reach of the storm to me)
Like him or not, I think Peter made it happen again.
It is a concept whose time has come and gone.
It restricts the government too much and may ***** bad decisions. The Boehner Plan is too restrictive as well. ******* cuts dollar for dollar again will most likely ***** bad decisions.
The Platinum Option is an example of why the ceiling is out...
You're making a good point. It doesn't take away from the original posting's message.
However, it is good to keep in your sights. Obama stating that the fiscal cliff deal will save money isn't wrong, but it isn't the full story. The SS cuts will expire for some and raise their taxes. Also...
Funny, when I see pictures of Bobbi Starr having anal sex, she has this scarred or shocked look on her face. I'm a fan of hers, but I think, "really? you still have that expression at this point?"
Well, it does make the belief real. The faith, if you will. If that is good or bad is debatable and is probably both. The history of the Catholic Church is as ****** and corrupt as it is merciful and helpful.
Hmmm...I thought he died on the cross for about 3 to 4 hours.
Bill Parcells says he'd pass on Jets GM job - He is smart and 71...even a younger man would be wise to pass. Enjoy your years, Bill.
Rex Ryan, Woody Johnson to address media Tuesday - Not sure what Sexy Rexy has to say. No more circus, please!

I probably agree with the consumer activists groups that Google got off too easy.
The disturbing trend to me is how focused corporations are on patents. The amount of time and money spent on acquiring...
This would hurt the Russian ******** more than anything. Russia has a high orphan population for the number of people in the country. Other countries may be able to handle the ******** that would otherwise go to the US, but there is talk about them stopping all international adoption. It is...
:clap:
Perfect list.
I would pull out xfire. I love seeing him online, but if he was a mod, wouldn't he have to be more of a ref? He could make a good ref, but I'd rather see him continue to fight the good fight than ref.
