Government Shut Down

[Adak]

Don't you just love the way politicians talk out of both sides of their mouth, at the same time?

Latest example is Obama: "raising the debt ceiling does not increase the amount we owe".

That's a glorious double talk beauty! It's true, yet we all know that raising the debt ceiling is made necessary BECAUSE WE'RE SPENDING MORE MONEY THAN WE TAKE IN!

That doesn't top Clinton's prize winner however:
"It depends what you definition of "is" is."

THAT is a double talk masterpiece, right there!

A problem that was solved. And then extremist Republicans did what they love to do - spend money we do not have on wars without purpose. And did so while joyfully massacring 5000 American servicemen. So now we have maybe $2 or $3trillion dollars of debt that was financed by the Chinese - because some wacko president was so dumb - another word for extremist.

Those debts remain with or without the debt ceiling lifted. However if the debt ceiling is not lifted, then wacko Republicans get what they love. Those outstanding debts increase even more.

Bills created in early 2000s created these debts. Debts that now require the ceiling be lifted. If not paid, then all outstanding debts increase. You should have thought about those debts when wackos were using lies to created them back in 2003. I did - vigorously. Where were you when it was time to avert those debts? Too late now.

So you want to increase those debts by not raising a debt ceiling. Apparently wacko extremist rhetoric forgets to mention that part - to increase debts to make America fail.
