ah those goons in office are playing the plebs -it's like being 16 and watching WWF all over again - made up fighting, good and bad guys playing a game :P
... how about we have a jubilee (clean start on all debt)
and remove the fed and it's interest that is the real cause of the debt mess. the federal reserve is a private bank (they admitted to be such on bloomberg recently), everything they do the treasury can do itself. why are we paying interest on money the fed prints from thin air (counterfeiting is already unlawful! and if you or I did it we'd be in jail- yet ok for the Fed to do it.) they make money from nothing- and are sucking any bit of value out of our countries money supply, they took the gold in 1933, the silver in 1964 and are really going to steal the whole country from the people in short order...
mathematically even more so if the debt ceiling is raised we can't pay this money back now - our debt per person is over 250k ... I'm seriously going to say this- I DID NOT BORROW 250K, NO WAY I'M going to peacefully pay that back- even if it means becoming a gypsy and living under the radar. I think what is being played out violates our constitution- and before you call me a tea bagger (I don't consider myself a part of any PARTY- I find that none really represent everyone!)- I started out agreeing with them, up until the republicans took Ron Paul's movement and hijacked it. now they can keep it, it's part of the games on the two party system.
1 trillion dollar coin. would be nice to find one, from say Zimbabwe - Robert Mugabee will be printing our money soon anyhow...
