I don't think any of these idiots can govern. Either side. What do you think about the debt ceiling?

How many years can they go on just enlarging it? But it needs to be enlarged, we cannot default. The Tea Party guys who are going to vote no on extending it are not being responsible or realistic. Look what happened to Chris Christie and his little yak and what it did to NJ bonds the other day. Defaulting is serious, and real. I see some Congressmen saying, "We'll vote not to raise the debt ceiling, and we'll pass a law we can't default" HUH? C'mon guys, use the brain, the brain! You can't do two opposing things at the same time

GOP put out a list of possible spending cuts today - they completely ignored Defense. Sigh.

I'm seriously pretty angry that the tax cuts for the top 1% of earners in the country, those making over a million, were extended, because that would have been a huge, massive reduction of the debt. By about 1/3. That combined with spending cuts ... would have been easy, and perfect and painless for everyone.
