Boehner Response To Obama Imminent

Tyler Durden's picture




 

First, it was the president's turn to waste a few hundred million in deficit dollars by doing nothing to help the country (though certainly talk about it). Now it is Boehner's time for a retort. We anticipate, with about 100% certainty, that about $150 million in deficit funding debt will be added for the duration of this latest spectacle. And since, debt is not actually being added per se while the US in breach of the ceiling, this is simply the amount that will be plundered "transitorily" from government pension funds until the debt target is finally lifted. Watch the top GOPer's response live here at 1:30 pm EDT.

The elections are our only hope.

"Local elections are our only hope. Federal elections are completely irrelevant until such time as collapse occurs and real Americans, under term-limits, work their way up from limited local government to limited federal government some twenty years from now."

 

There. Fixed..

The ONLY one with any creditability was Sheila Bair, she's gone now and was a Bush appointee anyhow.

At least Boehner and the red state boys have put a restraining order on structural spending increases.

gwar5, u r a "useful idiot"... don't worry though, you have lots of company!

What Boehner (and his Tea Party handlers) are doing is exactly what the IMF is doing to Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal... fleecing the sheeple to benefit the corporations (and the super-rich). Tell me, who wins... the Koch Bros "et al" get to pick up the crumbs at pennies on the dollar, get cheap labor, reduced taxes, and those pesky regulations go away... and the casino lives on!

The ONLY difference is the US doesn't need the IMF to rape and pillage... they simply print more of the reserve currency instead of borrowing from the IMF. WTFU!

Boehner is no product of the Tea Party.  But carry on with your whining.

Boehner is no product of the Tea Party

I don't believe I said he was... I actually think he's a fairly reasonable (but a light weight) guy, but he will tow the (T) Party line because if he doesn't, they'll throw all kinds of money at a know nothing nube in a GOP nomination challenge next election. Christine (I am not a witch) O'donnell had a purpose you know, and now the entire GOP caucus has two choices... tow the line, or be "Chris-tined" in the next election.

But you carry on with your head stuck up your ass. If the orifice fits...

Boehner has not, is not, and will not tow the Tea Party line.  Like you, he doesn't even know what it is.

But thanks for the contortion advice.  Always a sign of defeat when one resorts to ad hominem cliches in salutation.

Where's the spelling error, Mr. no-substance response?  And are you denying you were whining in your original, thought-provoking (sarc) post?  I was pointing out reality.

All of Obama's team has already miserably failed, discredited, totally clueless. Keynesian-Marxism doesn't work either. Giethner is the last crook and liar remaining. 

At least Boehner and the red state boys have put a restraining order on structural spending increases.

Seriously?

 

and the red state lobby whore boys are going to hold hands with the blue state lobby whore boys when the cameras are off and rob both the red states and the blue states blind..

todays strong pullback in the market and especially the Nasdaq is doing wonders for my IWM iron condor trade. Just last week it was looking as if I was going to be out with a loss,but todays strong pullback is doing wonders for my trade. Options expiration is looking much better today.

c'mon...are you kidding me?  The debt ceiling will be raised on hopes and false promises.

Does anyone really believe the US will default?  The US is a corporation....nothing more.  It has no reason to default with trillions in assets (yes, including your 401k/IRA/Pension).  You all (well most) belong to the corporation, and thus, they have the power to do what is necessary to preserve the corporation.

You'll see soon enough.

This is all theater and insider positioning.  How many fucking times have we seen the media (national and international) with the doom-and-gloom news and the posturing by politicians.

Its a fucking acting contest.  They have you mesmerized by it.

The only way to beat them at this game is to ignore them...completely.  Stop playing the game and stop feeding the monsters.  So many on this site with answers that are wrong.  The answer is YOU, and YOU have the power but you continually expect someone else to pick up the ball and run with it.

Keep trading.  Keeping listening to the bullshit news.  Keep discussing the non-factual BS you are fed.  Keep voting.  Keep paying your taxes.  Keep shopping at the mega-stores.  Keep banking at the big banks.  Keep that TV humming.  Oh...and continue to diss your fellow man because you think you are better "positioned" them him.

AND THEN, please do stop by here and tell us what the solutions are.

Yes they will confiscate those IRA's 401K's pensions, that is the endgame, you hit on it.

w/o getting too nerdy, it seems that they have their own closed system, that is the laws of physics we all live by, don't apply to them, and we can only react to their policies and actions. for us their function is to create the laws of nature which we must obey. we have no choice but to follow their lead. would you like to have your own closed system? go off the grid, grow some food. they're never going to allow you to reinstate slavery, however, which is the relationship they have with the rest of us. we are slaves to their policy decisions. you can pick the cotton, or you can turn rabbit..

There are no solutions, only pea eating.

And despite all the whining, the debt ceiling will be raised in T-minus 22 days. 

Would you like some more crack? 

No...no wait, yes.

Nothing new from Barry...same guy who promised, "No more Bailouts" back in 2009....as well as, "No more Bonuses" after which Wall Street receieve over $5 trillions from Barry and Timmy and Bank CEOs took home record high bonuses of over $150 Billion each year.

When Barry says, "shared sacrifice" I hear you sacrifice while CEOs get another Fat Bonus year.....same ole stuff.

Americans (and most likely everyone in the world) does not mind "belt tightening" when it is evenly applied....but when some get $100 million in Bonuses with taxpayer Bailout money.....it gets complex.
