Could it be that Republicans REALLY DO wants us to default?

[MB]

We can pay our debt payments without raising the debt ceiling.  Could it be that Democrats just want us to continue this never ending borrowing spree?

[pro nitrousADRL]

I thing big business should default too.  If your a business that has shady policies or isn't ran well you go under as well.  Then afterwards the people that make it will be the people that work hard and make things happen for themself.  And the people that fail, well they shoulda took some initiative

[Straw Man]

Obama and Geithners insane spending binge has already caused chaos moron.   

neither statement is true but I'm sure that won't stop you from believing it

think of the hundreds of hours you wasted ranting about Obama's birth certificate

obviously you've got nothing better to do with your time

we should have broken up the big banks and we should have not paid covered GS credit default swaps or given them a penny of bailout money

There are lots of things we should have done (IMO)

[Soul Crusher]

Oh yeah - the chinese are no longer buying our debt, inflation is soaring, S&P downgraded our debt, debt as a percentage of GDP is at WW2 levels, etc.

Everything is great, just like the post office.

no one will buy our debt if we don't default

but that would be a good thing

right?

[Soul Crusher]

I am ok with raising the debt ceiling so long as it is coupled with MASSIVE spending cuts.   

No way should maddoff in chief benefit from his thieving ways.   

[pro nitrousADRL]

We should have given zero bailouts. If people are to stupid to run a business let it go under or be bought by someone else.  Dont funnel money into proven idiots.  I mean hell  if you give a teen a bank card and say it has a 100$ limit, and the kids repeatedly goes over what would any sane parent do?  I am sure the answer is NOT:  keep pouring the money into it.

Republicons hate this country

they represent the interest and desires of multinational corporations and billionaires

they all sign pledges to Grove Norquist and that guys ideal situation would be to destroy our government (in his words to "drown it in a bathtub")

Rich people and multination corporations don't want or need anything from the governmetn except lax or no regulations and low or zero taxes

It also doesn't help that the leaders of the Republican and Tea Bag Republicans (McConnell, Boner, Cantor, Bachman) are a bunch of morons

Look at all the companies that successful in during this Administration, they are all Obama supporters. This whole notion that companies prosper when Republicans are in the White House are unfounded. Wall Street loves it when a Democrat is in Office because the get away with Murder to the Tax payer. Bush was caught up in this at the end because he had to deal with a Democrat Senate and House. Plain and simple.

Shoot. You make too much sense.

You continuously prove that you haven't the faintest idea of what you're talking about when it comes to economics. Now keep avoiding threads pointing that out.

Please tell us again how the Dems aren't spending enough.  

How much do you propose they spend, stud? Maybe $100 trillion will do the trick? Funny that experts whose little fingers know more about economics than you do keep saying that Obama and co. haven't the faintest idea what they're doing but you know better.

[Soul Crusher]

It's really amazing.   Between the S P downgrade, the failure of the stim bill, the massive debt, bill gross no longer buying treasuries, trustees of Medicare saying it will be broke five years sooner than expected, the far left still thinks we are not spending and taxing enough.

We can spend our way out of it. What do the S&P, IMF and all the other economic experts not named Paul Krugman know? Bay-area liberals have the answer to everything!

[Soul Crusher]

They should solve their pension mess before giving us any more bright ideas.

Yeah Republicans are not puppets for Wall Street but the dem are

Are you really that stupid

[Soul Crusher]

Everyone expects the gop to be corporate whores. 

Its the far leftists like straw, blacken, benny, andre, mal, etc who act like the gop has a monopoly on corruptionand that the dems are the party of "the little guy" which is pure bullshit.  Democrat party is the party of big business, the parasite class, the locust class, and does everything possible to squash and destroy "the little guy".

if they keep playing chicken, the bond market will start to slip, then stock market will start to slip...

Well, some people look fwd to a nice collapse and rebuild.  Let's see how fun it is when things they enjoy stop working/functioning. 

[Soul Crusher]

This is entirely on the messiah and senate dems.

they are the children at the steering wheel (with the spending)

Repubs are the parents that gave them the car keys and put the car at the top of the hill with their drunken sailor 2000-2006 spending though.

we gotta cut the spending, but this playing chicken thing may be historic.

[Soul Crusher]

How are they playing chicken?

I didn't say Republicans weren't in the mix or at not somewhat to blame as well. I was commenting on Corporations.. Learn to read....

Before calling someone stupid, check yourself...
