I'm looking at you, Republicans: Quit ****ing around.

Times like these make me angry.

When has politics ever given reason for someone to be happy? Politics is based around a corrupted and complete nonsense system of power.

thats because politics is based on deception and manipulation

[kommisar]

deciding on what the majority of the country wants isn't a very good idea either. the dumb shit to smart ratio is amazing!!1

[wargasm1]

better hope america doesn't default on it's debt or the world is going to be in serious trouble..

[DotKritic]

Why raise the debt and welcome MORE debt?

Someone fly a plane into the Federal Reserve building so they can't print anymore money.

Wouldn't this be their way of cheating themselves more money?

I mean, like cheat codes or something. It's kinda not fair in a way. lol

Simplistically, yes. But these sort of cheats also help prevent a country from going into a total tailspin collapse. So you know. Whatever.

[Emithith]

That's funny because people call America one of the strongest countries, but they basically bought their status through the money that they owe now.
lmao

[G.S.M]

you kill one politician and another one pops up in his place... I need to find a new line of work

what?

[Artic_counter]

Since I live under a rock and stopped watching television 5 years ago, I don't know what you are all talking about.

What happened ? Did the U.S. raised the ceiling allowed for it's dept/borrowing money (again) ?

[Profraine]

One of three thing will happen:

1. No one can agree one something and the country defaults
2. They rush something together a couple days before the deadline
3. A miracle happens; everyone agrees one the perfect thing that'll save the country forever after. The End.

[Reincarnate]

They'll reach a deal -- that much is certain. Question is whether or not that deal will actually help the economy.
