Boehner On 'Debt Prioritization' Vote - Live Webcast
By the end of next week, the Obama administration will no longer be able
to borrow money to fund government operations because Congress has only
agreed to extend the government's borrowing authority until May 19. While he has smartly expressed his preference that the most liquid bond market in the world "not default,", Speaker Boehner will take to the lectern this morning at 1045ET to discuss the upcoming "debt prioritization" bill. As Reuters notes, House Republicans are expected to pass the bill today that would require the Obama administration to prioritize government debt payments and retirement benefits if Congress fails to reach a deal to raise the U.S. debt ceiling. The legislation is not expected to go anywhere in the Democratic-controlled Senate and the White House has said it will veto the bill, but what is essentially a tactical maneuver will allow the Republicans, who control the House, to argue they have done their best to avoid a potential U.S. credit default. We are sure the M.A.D. defense card will be played at least once...

Another wortless vote on a worthless subject as nothing will be done regardless if it passes or not. Hell, these are the same assholes that made a "contract with America" and broke it the first day the GOP captured congress.
Now for some comedy http://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=logarithmic&chdeh=1&chfdeh=0&chdet=1368129600000&chddm=765&chls=IntervalBasedLine&cmpto=NYSEARCA:UNG&cmptdms=0&q=NYSEARCA:USO&&fct=big&ei=pbKLUYDJO-O_0gHwwQE
Do you really mean "Debt Procrastination" Vote???
This is what Boner will say:
"Bullshit bullshit bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit bullshit. I'm a big pussy. Bullshit bullshit. I will not suck the president's dick until he orders me to. Bullshit bullshit. And finally, bullshit."
The fact that his daughter is marrying some jobless stoner speaks to his undeniable vaginality.
they want default so the IMF can come in and do to us what it did to Argentina over ten years ago.

Boehner can't even keep his daughter from marrying absolute fourth world trash, why is he the speaker?
Commodity (paper) beat-down is manditory cover for more printing. All of this only accelerates paper destruction (which requires more printing). It really is becoming comical now.
somebody call that florida pig and let him know i hate this goverment and each and everyone that is involved...and i hope their family and pets suffer the most physically and emotionally slow painfull deaths possible....and my vehicle passed emmission testing today maybe thats why im so fucking happy
That is a message best delivered personally. It loses its impact delivered second hand.
I do find myself laughing more and more. His tan alone makes me giggle. Is that a good sign?
US credit default is going to happen soon.
What do you mean, 'going to happen'?
I suspect something is going to happen and being the slimy politians that they are, covering their asses is very important.
Correct, the soft default has been going on since the late 70's. A hard default will bring about a civil war or WWIII. That would indeed be "interesting".
I don't see the civil war part - who against who? Do you mean a revolution?
The anomosity between the "food stamp class" and everyone else is pretty palpable in most cities that I have visited. Employed versus underemployed/unemployed and brainwashed. Come on, divide and conquor is alive and well among several groups of sheeple.
OK, I get it, but that seems more like a French Revolution or zombie apocalypse than a civil war to me.
Location dependent. When supply lines break and EBT cards no longer work, areas like the L.A. basin may become the latter as 20+ million people simply look for potable water and food.
Agree those mega urban areas will be the first to face physical goods reality. Especially the dry ones with lots of underclass. Have three family members left down there, trying to motivate them out.
I'm betting on a French Style Revolution. Once the chompers lose their Obama phones they will march right to government buildings. It's no wonder to me why DHS is hording ammo.
Okay, so when is it going to start? People have been prophesizing doom since 2008 and it hasn't arrived yet. Things are horrible but there has been nothing like the Arab Spring anywhere in the "West".
When the supply lines break, not before.
People don't do anything until their bellies are empty and they see their children hungry. They will feed us a long as they can.
The revolution will be a scream! ... fat cops chomping Dunkin Donuts, facing off against a wild Wallyworld wabble on motorised scooters!
The crises will have to impact most,healthcare,food,transportation,chaos.Then have the sheeple scream for govt AFTER destruction.Then its head cracking doors busted in and confiscation.
We have merely been witnessing the leaking. The waterfall event is nearing and it will look very different. Pubs covering their ass in case of a default; Berstank planning on being absent Jackson Hole. Ducks are lining up in a row...
'Somebody get the can quick! No, no, no, not the spray tan, the can dammit!'
Ethanol subsidies, farmland subsidies, food stamps, government retirement programs, government sexual harassment training, FEMA, flood insurance, just shutdown NASA altogether, import-export bank financing, maybe cut off the payment to the IMF and UN, unemployment assistance sent to the states.
There's lots of stuff.
I agree..give me a list of what we spend money on..and within the day i could red line what would be cut out and cut the budget in less than a day...very easy.....
The government provides sexual harassment training?
I thought most were just naturally good at it. I didn't realize that they actually received training.
I can't stand to watch him. Is he crying yet?
There's a puddle of orange juice on the floor, so yeah...
What's the OVER/UNDER on when he starts blubbering?
DR. would you rather see Pelosi? Or Barney? How about Harry.
Yes, I would MUCH rather see those three cry.
As I rip out their fingernails
Please, this is a non-event. If 85 billion per month is not enough, the Fed will simply make it 120 billion per month, nothing will be allowed to go bidless and nothing will change until the benefactors of the Fed are executed. Simple enough for everyone?
Who down arrowed that?!
Yup, bring on the guillotines and masonry walls. hujel
"Who down arrowed that?!"
My guess is someone who WON'T survive unless this corrupt system continues.
They should just go to the Miliken Conference and hire JP M and GOLD, man..!! to 'advise' on doing a senior/sub capital re-structure. But, please tell Soros and Gross first so they can front-run...!!

Should be debt privatization...
So directing our affirmative action president to pay debt obligations before e.g. sending military aid to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is "...essentially a [Republican] tactical maneuver..."
It's a little early in the day to be smoking weed, eh Tyler?
Steve in Greensboro - - - - to what part of that statement do you object ? Websearch US support and provision of weapons to Al Qaeda in Syria. Websearch history of British early involvement with Muslim Brotherhood and later Western running of same. This information is readily available from multiple mainline sources. (In particular check out the work of F. William Engdahl). The objective is to cause turmoil and instability in the Middle East and Central Asia.
This guy can't even manage his family, how can he manage the government? His daughter is married to some shitlocked immigrant stoner.
But she LOOOOVES him!!!
Like there was anything he could do about that. Part of the appeal of her guy was probably his unsuitability and how that would tweek Daddy's nose. What do you think this is, the middle ages where you could dispose of your children as you saw fit? I didn't want my daughter to marry a cop and pitched a fit for all the good it did me.
Why go through all this shit, John.
Just say your powerless to do anything to prevent this and just give him the ultimate power he's taking anyway.
Same tired arguments. Move along, this is not the Congress you're looking for.
P.S. "The best healthcare system the world has ever known" is #38 in the world for cost, outcomes, and avg life-span (and falling).
he has the charisma of a cardboard box
An orange cardboard box.
Somebody has to give Obama another reason to "compromise" with the GOP on entitlement cuts!
U.S. Treasury debt MUST continue to rise to infinity, that is the way the global financial system is designed.
The more Boehner plays footsie with the Prez, the shorter his stint as Speaker. Can't understand why this guy won't just stand his ground, but then again the Republican Party acts the same way.
"We want to be socialists, but we don't know how."
"Can't understand why this guy won't just stand his ground"
I don't think ObamaCare will pay for a cojones transplant for Republicans.
The Republican leaders are IDIOTS - voting for yet another symbolic bill that has no hope of becoming law. The Democrats have been eating the Republican's cake for the last 25 years because they know how the game of politics should be played. Are the Republicans hoping for an Obama veto? If so, it will never happen because this will never be brought up for a vote in the Senate. We will go to the brink again, and the Republicans will blink, and that will be yet another repeat of the same pattern we have been seeing. The reality is that no one in Congress wants to actually cut ANYTHING because the headlines will be the MSM interviewing the 'pain' of whomever is affected by the cuts. Thus the only real 'cuts' are to use money printing and stealth inflation to inflict those reductions, so Congress can blame Wall Street and speculators - you know, the same ones who are the biggest contributors to their re-election war chests. There is no way out of this pattern without actually driving off the cliff.
Riding C-span mercilessly for no other reason but to "look busy". Jacks of all trades and master of non, other than political bull that is.
Most of the allowable time that they have for speech is congratulating each other for "The great job they do serving our country..."
A-holes, ... and this one in particular. How he gets elected, that is my real question?
