It's a crying shame how you treat your fellow veteran.

I think you're being hyperbolic. In addition money market funds have a lower return than the inflation rate. So do CDs.
You literally lose [Return Rate] - [Inflation Rate] = % loss on all money market funds. Unless it's 1939, money markets are a HORRIBLE idea.
It just passed got an update from Politico.
When Bohner couldn't even get conservative members in the GOP caucus to agree on what they want to cut and what they want to stay or if they should yet again for the 1 millionth time try to repeal the ACA he had no other choice but to put this on the schedule to vote.
What? Uh....no.
Did you take notice of the market piece I included in my OP?
Scary 1929 market chart gains traction - Mark Hulbert - MarketWatch
Pay attention to the graph....
Did you notice that they actually altered the Y-axis to get it to fit that way?

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, 'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
Or that all these things dont have to be attached to a bill raising the debt ceiling since essentially that would make those things not necessary if they were attached to the bill because they have little to nothing when it comes to raising a debt ceiling. Afterall if the conservatives want these things they should bring them to the floor in a seperate bill not attach them to the debt ceiling bill.Just goes to show how times have changed and how Democrats haven't seen a dollar that they didn't want to spend to buy votes.
Wow a politician flip flopping and doing things for cheap political gain! Say it aint so! I bet no one in the GOP does this!The Quote of the Decade:
Well saying you know the guy that started this big spending habit was a little guy named Ronald Reagan.. But its kinda hard to lower your debt when you cant bring in money (raise taxes)Debt to GDP exceeds 100% so Democrats please let me know the last time that occurred. That devil Reagan had a 50% Debt to GDP ratio and he is demonized

But if thats your "quote of the decade" then man....

The graph fraudulently portrays the two trends as similar, despite the fact that the 28-29 increase was a gain of nearly 100 percent whereas the recent gain was less than a third. The two are nowhere near proportional.Please explain...

LOL what?Its a shame how he has been treating his fellow Veterans as well as those who he claims to identify with......while allowing Obama to purge the military of what the Democrats and Left Knows can deal with their police state without breaking a swet, huh?
Wait a tic i thought we have separation of powers......Got it, if a Democrat spends it is ok and a debt to GDP Percent over 100% doesn't matter since it is a Democrat doing the spending.
He was the one that started to make it skyrocket, was he not?Then there is the Reagan argument, since Reagan did it, therefore it is ok for Obama to do it even though the Reagan ratio was 50% of GDP. Is 50% more or less than the over 100% now?
It brought in 1.4 trillion alone in 2007...Raising Taxes is always the first alternative for a liberal even though raising taxes won't even come close to making a difference but that doesn't matter because rhetoric trumps substance. The Obama tax proposal if fully implemented and generated the promised results would reduce the deficit by 80 billion dollars. When was the last Obama projection that was correct and how will 80 billion dollars a year make a difference to the incredible debt Obama has generated?
Is there an actual explanation for this apparent surrender? I'm surprised, what changed?
Honest question seeking honest answer/

Just kinda interesting that once a democrat gets in the White House all the sudden we are all "worried about the debt"
It brought in 1.4 trillion alone in 2007...
Are you kidding me"?
What changed is that this is an election year.
The GOP knows it can **** up the country in off years, but when they need votes, they have to act somewhat rationally.
Of course, their inability to do anything with immigration belies this stance... but cest la vie.

Wait i thought we were talking about the debt/deficit.Depends on your definition of a skyrocket, adding 17 million jobs and doubling GDP certainly would qualify as a good skyrocket wouldn't you say?
They were... And pretty much still are for the vast vast majority of population.Was Obama in office in 2007? Thought the Bush tax cuts were in effect that year?

Moving the goalposts i see.

I'm pretty sure he's not up for re-election this year.
But irregardless, the Republicans can only **** this election up (like theyve done the last few). Not doing destructive and pointless fighting over stupiid stuff like the debt ceiling is a step in the positive direction.
