Was I was a little taken aback at the uniformity of the message along with the vitriol being put out by the MSM on this issue yesterday?
Absolutely not.
How dare anyone stand in the way of raising the debt ceiling!
After all, the federal government has only raised it some 74 times previously. And look at what a wonderful job they have done keeping their addiction in check.
Almost $14.5-trillion in the hole and they're still chuggin'.
And the unfunded liabilities problem?
Shhhhh, shhhhh, shush! Can't talk about that!
I've seen President <strike>Carter's</strike> Obama's spiel on C-Span last night. He has got to be one of the worst poker players on the planet that I've ever seen. And I'm just a plain old trucker. If the "leadership" in the house cannot see that, then all is lost...and in more ways than one.
Not only will we get socked with even more interest payments to our friends the Chi-coms, like the 74 previous times, but those republicans responsible for signing off might not like the response they'll receive when they come asking for help next November.
Absolutely nothing will happen if the debt ceiling isn't raised!
Interest payments can (and most importantly will) still be made, only now, Congress will actually have to prioritize their spending just like the rest of us.
This is what scares the hell out of the democrats and their sycophants, because without that flexibility in spending freely, who will they bribe next for their votes in November?
