SHUTDOWN

http://news.yahoo.com/house-republic...151356907.html

So, the House Republicans are saying, we don't give a fuck! either we get our way or we're blowing up the world?

I hope they have private sector jobs after 2014...

A shutdown could be a very great thing for America. Could be. In a shutdown Obama could end billions of wasteful spending like shutting down the FDA's fathead minnow research program (wtf?), research on why the majority of lesbians are fat and are more vulnerable to hazardous auto accidents (wtf?) and the all the other stupidity we spend BILLIONS on.

Instead, like the white house tours, he will probably attack the average citizen so he can go back on the stump for his ego and political reasons. Very sad.

I really like Pink Floyd.

America changed Congress because of this issue, so Congress would be remiss if they didn't take a stand. Lets study the impact of Obamacare before putting a rubber stamp on funding it.

I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt limit."

Please note that a shutdown will not happen as the Chinese will not allow it. They hold so much of our debt they are not about to allow any stunt that will cause their holdings to lose value.

Yes, and I agree

Yeah, then again, Japan just might also have something to say since their holdings are not that much smaller than China's. Approx. $40B out of how many trillion?

at the end of the day neither side of the aisle wants to find out exactly what will happen if we don't increase the debt ceiling .... nothing to see here folks, move along

Hey, you fat fucking anti-Semite, what the fuck can the Chinese do about it? Tell our congress to not shut down the government or what exactly are they going to do to us? They have the problem - they are the suckers who hold US debt denominated in dollars - which we control the value of and can keep printing the shit out of it until other countries wise up! In the meantime, who is going to buy their shitty products, and what currency will they use?
By the way, all you liberals predict decades of defeat for Republicans no matter what, because of demographics being against them. You might have a point, so why shouldn't the Republicans shut down the government and take the current set of Democrats down with them. Sure, the Republicans will get the blame, but many people might also decide the current crop of Democrats didn't show much brilliance either, backing the Republicans into the corner to commit suicide. What benefit do the Republicans get if they don't threaten to shut down the monstrosity in Washington - it is an act of righteous rebellion and they get to try to blast Obamacare at the same time.
In the 60's, the liberals bombed the government and got what they wanted, why shouldn't conservatives blow up that which they oppose at this point. What do they have to lose?

Great video, nwa! + 1

Invade us to get what - the gold in Ft. Knox? The Chinese own only a promise that the United States government will pay them interest - and they have nowhere to put the money because if they crash the US bonds they lose their principle - suckers....
They laugh about the peons who work for them - so what? Peons go to work every single day for someone who thinks as highly of them as that Chinese speaker, and laugh at them, also. You work for the man your whole life, no matter what his skin color is, and then you die. Might as well live it up with a gorgeous hooker and then get drunk - you can't do shit about it, anyway - unless you are in the 1%.

Guess how safe Israel will be if China flexes its economic muscle and collapses the US economy, or even threatens to. They have security for their interest. Don't doubt it.

From Dec 1995 to Jan of 96 there was a Government shut down during the Clinton Administration. Maybe you remember. It only lasted about three weeks or so, but after things returned to normal Clinton balanced the budget. That was a very positive result of that Gov't Shutdown. Hopefully something as positive as that can take place again.
