Borrowing money to pay existing debt is seen as an accomplishment. Only in today's America. Unreal how fucked we are.

Create an absolute mess...wait until the 11th hour and patch it together with scotch tape...slap yourselves on the back and say, "good job everyone". What a scam

term limits, DC politicians have lost their compass, they're blinded by the dense beltway fog

their only concern is making sure they're reelected, we need to take that cancerous career off the table

they all show back up to work today, get a quick blowie from the admin, then sign off at 10:30 and hit up the The Capitol Grill for the rest of the day celebrating their accomplishment

Term limits plus campaign finance reform and youd see a very different political spectrum. Right now we have people that bow down to their contributors, not their constituents

When I was in grade school, at recess we used to kick around a soda can. It's good to see the game is still popular 50 years later.

There are term limits.

If you dont like the person in office vote him or her out on the next election.

sounds good but...here's the thing chopper: the entitlement crowd has grown to the point that the water drinkers now outnumber the water carriers. A water drinker's vote counts the same as a water carrier's vote. The water drinker will always vote for the liberal because the liberal will promise him more free water. He ain't gonna vote for the cat who tells him that he will have to carry his own water now. George b. Shaw said it best "when the govt robs from peter to pay Paul, they can always count on the support of Paul"

Most people are not aware that the Senate is illegal under the constitution. It requires that the Senators be chosen by the the states legislatures not by general election. This would eliminate a lot of problems as state legis change quite often. Plus the Senators could be recalled from Wash at anytime meaning they couldnt pull bullshit like McConnell did yesterday when he sold everyone down the river for a $2 billy Dam project or when the 2 senators changed their votes on the AFCA in exchange for multi-million dollar bribes.
Allowing the Senate to be elected is what has led to this Govt for the Govt by the Govt and Fuck the people.

The water drinkers as you say....vote at a very low percentage and not enough to change an election....no matter what some try to say.

I blame the extensive media--FOX, MSNBC etc., for turning govt. into Republican vs. Democrat. Now it's more about beating the other party instead of working toward the common good. It's Packers vs. Bears instead of just one team. Let's do away with the party system, everyone is an independent, and the objective is to get shit done, making this country No. 1, and not to disagree with someone else just because they belong to the other party. Right now parties are the priority for these clowns not the country.
Now I'll go back to SportsCenter.

Nail on the head.....Ck these quotes about raising the Debt celing.

"We just cant give a blank check over and over and over again" Pelosi 11/17/04

"The request sounds like a drunk going to an AA meeting saying just give me 1 more drink" Rangel 11/18/04

"Most Americans know that increasing the debt is the last thing we should be doing" Reid 3/16/06

"America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership, Americans deserve better" Obama 3/16/06

How could these "leaders' change their mind a complete 180 degrees?? Could it be because the person TRIPLING the Debt has a D after their name instead of an R ??

Actually the answer is no it isnt, its really because all 4 of these people are stone faced liars who give a fuck about nothing but cronyism....but thats another topic.

And also there would have been no default. The government takes in about 240 billion a month. Interest on the debt is about 20 billion. That leaves about 220 bilion. If you can't run a country on 220 billion a month there is something astronomically wrong.

And guess what? There is.

and incumbents get reelected 90+ percent of the time despite the fact 80+ percent of the people think they suck

they rely on low information voters, beat them like a drum and it works like a charm



not sure how you can defend the beltway fog, but yet you do
