House Passes Clean Debt Ceiling 221-201 With Vast Majority Of Republicans Voting Against
The clean debt ceiling bill has just passed the House where it got the required majority in a 221 to 201 final vote, with just 28 Republicans voting Yea (and 199 voting Nay) - a vote that has made history with the fewest number of votes from a majority on a bill that passed the House since 1991. It also means means that with a Senate passage assured, the US can now spend away until March 15, 2015. The final breakdown:
- GOP: Yea - 28; Nay -199
- DEM: Yea - 193; Nay -2
- Total: Yea - 221; Nay - 201
And one for the history books:
Considering that the vast majority of Republicans voted against John Boehner's latest "plan" to do the Democrats' work for them, and pass a clean debt ceiling, perhaps it is time to look for a speaker who represents the interests of more than just a tiny fraction of the party... and the Democrats of course.
Roll call adds:
Of the 28 Republicans voting for the debt ceiling, there were only four members of GOP leadership: Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio, Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy of California, and Chief Deputy Whip Peter Roskam of Illinois. As a matter of principle, the speaker rarely votes, making this one particularly notable.
Many of the first votes for the debt ceiling came from chairmen of various committees. Of the chairmen voting for the bill, there were: Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp of Michigan, Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa of California, Appropriations Chairman Harold Rogers of Kentucky, Foreign Affairs Chairman Ed Royce of California, Armed Services Chairman Howard “Buck” McKeon of California and Natural Resources Chairman Doc Hastings of Washington.
That means 15 other GOP committee chairmen voted against the measure, including Budget Chairman Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin.
GOP Moderates
Some Republicans who fall along a more centrist point on the political spectrum — the same ones who fought for a “clean” bill to fund federal operations during the government shutdown — voted “yes” on Tuesday. They include Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania and three New Yorkers: Michael G. Grimm, Peter T. King and Richard Hanna.
Retiring Republicans
The politically tricky vote for a debt ceiling was made easier for those Republicans who are retiring. Included in that group is McKeon, Frank R. Wolf of Virginia, Jon Runyan of New Jersey and Howard Coble of North Carolina.
Vulnerable Republicans
Vulnerable Republicans were faced with a choice about how to vote Tuesday night. These Republicans aren’t vulnerable because they face tough primary challengers from the right; they’re vulnerable because they reside in districts with light Republican support. Those lawmakers facing bruising re-election bids in November who voted with Democrats are: David Valadao and Gary G. Miller of California, Frank A. LoBiondo of New Jersey, Patrick Meehan of Pennsylvania and Dave Reichert of Washington.
“I’m grateful to the speaker and the Republican leadership for giving this House this opportunity to act in a way that is consistent with the constitution,” said Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., speaking in the chamber in advance of the vote. “I thank my Democratic colleagues for never wavering from this position and standing firm on behalf of all Americans.”

sell out bitchez
Sell outs? No my friend - those cocksuckers have never had anything to SELL to start with. BITCHEZ!!! ;-)
Looney
Every time the R-Team (yes I know most voted "against" this) fails us, it weakens my contention that there are real differences between the Rs and the Ds.
I still believe there are, but that is no longer the chasm it was.
Gold! That is financial tai chi, the more they wreck our system, the more gold will be worth.
yeah, close call!
thank you to Bohner for saving the day !
Is Boehner French? He surrenders like one.
Don't like that one? OK, here's another:
Boehner Folding Lawn Chair Co. "Dependable folding congressional furniture since 2010"
this might work ... once he retires, goes back to lawn business from mowing laws to folding lawn chairs ...
the guy is allergic to types of grass though ... thats the reason of his crying ... go figure ... quite a career from lawn to lawn ... is this a great country or what?
I'm thinking the plan is to win back some doubters by looking "cooperative" (NONobstructionist).
Then letting Obamacare take the Dems down in the next elections.
Lets get the show on the road. Since they have eliminated the "debt ceiling" as a political weapon, the debt ceiling is effectively dead, spend to INFINITY AND BEYOND!! Why are we paying taxes at all? They can just print the money to pay taxes. Think of the "economic stimulus" that will provide? A Keynesians wet dream come true!!
I heard every time a trillion dollars is spent, another RINO gets his socialist wings.
Gold bitchez.
Fucking gold.
The Jimmy Carter award for malaise governing goes to........John Boehner.
Great...now you done it! He'll be crying like a little bitch again at the presentation ceremony! Thanks a lot!
/
We need William Banzai to make us a cartoon with John Boehner as Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story - TO INFINITY and BEYOND.
Boehner is certainly a coward but lets face it Obama is now Napolean in everyway but in stature.
Not only saved the day, he led the charge. Do with these what you will but these old boys voted "YES WE CAN"!
The 28 Republicans who voted "yes":
It appears that California and the big Eastern interests know that the dollas gotta flow! Cut back on my (corporate) welfare? Hell no!
If only they were trying to cut corporate welfare...
Let's cut it ALL.
The SPICE must flow!!!!
The ever looming default is all but over us now, no turning back, full steam ahead...
The RINO's have sold out the brand yet again, they must go! The Fabian jackals must be stopped, mid-terms will be our revenge!
You MUST educate everone you talk to, it is imperative we get out ALL of our TEA!
They did cut corporate welfare from seventy billion a month to only sixty billion a month. It's hard to live on $720,000,000,000 a year in handouts.
12 of them being just Kallyfornia and Stupid York. What a shock!!
Didn't you get Cantor's state wrong? I could swear he is the Representative from the 13th District of Israel.
You are so very right Moe
You forgot the other "Eagle beak" Frank Wolf who is vacating his seat in the 10th District of Israel. Obviously he went out with a "bang" on this vote!
Before I break I might as well add insult to injury by telling you that the "51st State" will be coming in droves without a passport now ... And not only that... Our strategic ballistic missile command will be run by them as well.
Unlike the Japanese that used Magna BSP (pardon me the inverse), we won't even need them as we're rolling out the red carpet without hiding a single thing! Ol' Jacky Weinstein will take care of everything!!
Shalom Booby!!!
I once interned with the U.S. Congress when Dave Camp (3rd on your list) was the chief of staff of the husband (the guy I interned for) of one of the heirs of the Dow Chemical Company. Camp took over that guy's seat when he ran (unsuccessfully) for U.S. Senate. Camp is a whore to Dow. Kind of proves the point that the oligarchs want the debt ceiling raised.
The oligarchs want America to spend ourselves into ruin. And they want to steal as much of that spending as they can lay their hands on before the final crunch time.
Who died on the ides of march bitchez?!? WHO?
The symbolism is hilarious.
And not a one from the Heart of Dixie... Give 'em Hell Alabama!
I cannot be bothered to keep tabs on what the treasonous freakshow in DC is up to; this article did not say exactly what the clean debt bomb bill will do?
Raise the ceiling to 50 trillion?
Little help?
Anyway, for what it is worth...I think it goes to 18 or so trillion...I think it covers one year, so it adds another trillion or less. I may be wrong, have yet to find a definate figure.
http://www.thestylus.net/campus-talk/congress-to-raise-debt-ceiling-once...
There are some numbers in that article, maybe someone can figure it out. I raised an eyebrow on the $15 trillion in tax pmts (lol)...maybe $15 bil?
It doesn't matter, I think we all know there really is no limit to the debt and the chance of us ever paying it back is zero.
I mean honestly, is anyone out there that even halfway knows about any of this stuff so stupid as to believe we will stop spending when we hit the "limit"?
Careful what you wish for DCRB... The more they wreck the system, the harder it will be to enjoy the fruits of your excellent preparation. It's a gulag on one side of the spectrum and a roaming horde curb stomping your face at the other end of it.
The only scenario that benefits the preppers is one that leans towards a Mad Max outcome... By all appearances, we are headed in the other direction.
I certainly do not want a TEOTWAWKI. Life would suck, I agree. But, something bad is likely to come. Better to be ready than not.
Gulag does indeed to be the direction we are heading. Lots of guns among our people will help mitigate that. I hope...
This is best case scenario

That was awesome...Thanks for sharing that. WOW. The Human dystopia is really scary.
Hey, since we're doing videos.... here's Boehner the first time he met Nancy Pelosi without her TV-prep makup on:

Did it make him cry?

Gold is thinking about rising up from the Lilliputian ropes that bind it...just thinkin' at the moment, in a lazy mood..
'Who are all these little folk (central bankers) buzzing around me? , jeez, they're sure annoying me now"
It will be a monumental sight when gold stands up....monumental
Hey Do Chen good observation. There are a handful of the R team who are worth a crap but the true difference between the 2 parties is this: the D's say what they mean (as wrong as that may be) and then actually vote that way. The R's on the other hand say one thing then proceed to vote the complete opposite. In other words the R's talk the talk but won't walk the walk.
I agree, yesterday with the latest Obamacare delay, there is no doubt left in my mind; we have experienced a coup.
I used to want to believe their was enough difference between the R's and D's to save this country, not so much anymore.
For those of you waiting to pop your popcorn when the collapse comes, it's already here; just arriving slower than anyone thought But it's here

As Neo was told when he woke up from the Matrix :
"Welcome to the real world."
Would it help if I showed you ONE example of when they voted FOR rather than against? LOL you don't have to wrap your head around anything... You just don't wanna see it.
"Without comment or ceremony, President Bush on Tuesday signed a bill allowing a record $984 billion increase in the amount the federal government can borrow, to a record $7.4 trillion."
"The Treasury Department had warned it needed the extension by this week "to preserve the confidence in the U.S. government and to prevent uncertainty that would adversely affect our economic recovery."
"The 52-to-48 vote, with all Democrats and a handful of Republicans voting "no," increased the debt limit by $781 billion. The increase was the fourth since President Bush took office, prompting Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic minority leader, to declare that "years of Republican mismanagement" have driven the nation deep into the red.
3/16/2006
Old tyler knew. New tyler can't "wrap his head around it" either. Or maybe he's just a pied piper now cuz it got too easy to do.
Just 'believe' that Rs are good and Ds are all bad and you will be deemed 'good' in many circles and everyone can nod their heads in unison. If you believe they are all systemically corrupt, then you are on 'the path' but few can bring themselves to acknowledge these things after so many years of political messaging ...
F Boehner, the 28 sellout RINOs and all the Dems except 2. F em.
I'd expect Johnny boy is busy bawling his eyes out listening to sad songs getting shitfaced on scotch.
Then at 8:00 he'll head over to the insider's club in a limo and join McCain, Graham, Feinstein and Shumer for some blow, a child sacrifice or 2 and perhaps end the night with a dalliance with a heavily drugged sex slave from a former soviet republic.
Methinks Obozo must have some embarrasing photos...
Of Ol' Johnny Boy "boner-ing" a goat or some other barnyard animal!
It's all theater.
Traitorous fuckheads, every one of them. Hang them all.
I believe that the nail gun is the trendy execution method of choice this season.
In DC none of them are smart or skilled enough to use one (outside a cia rendition torture chamber tour) so they'll have to go with something more pedestrian. Like the effective suicide by shooting them in the back of the head twice with a gun made from 2 old guns making tracking it impossible then moving the body, void of much of the blood to a park where they give jurisdiction of the crime to the park police who on a good day could barely get a picnic basket back from yogi.

A note should be made of all the Congress members who have been in office leading us to economic destruction, so they can be tried for treason and thrown into prison for life. Gwen Moore (WI) is one who should be high on the list. She questioned Janet Yellen today and would try to interupt Janet before she was finished so the sound bytes would seem to reinforce her points. She kept trying to make the point that any austerity (cuts in spending) was working against QE3 so that was a BAD thing and should be stopped. This woman couldn't pass an elementary school math test. All she has is a Poly Sci degree from Marquette, no economic, business or mathematics background. Why is she on this committee? Does she even know that the debt is 17 trillion? Does she think that is okay? Does she think it should grow? I single her out, because she is the only person I could stomach today during Yellen's testimony.
good ole johnny ASSHOLE!
No not a sellout, it's a game. Boehner and other "solid district" Repubs or those in purple districts vote with assured Dem votes to give vast majority of Repubs ability to go home and say "We tried to hold the line." Debt ceiling is a loser issue for Repubs overall, as polls show.
"Debt ceiling is a loser issue for Repubs overall, as polls show."
At what point does the right/moral/best thing for the country/whatever one wants to call it come into play. At what point do we as a society begin to realise that shit excuses like this are cause enough to perhaps wake the fuck up and understand that ALL actions of CONgress, The Occupant of The White House and the 9 Ivy League lawyers in stupid black robes are soley for the pupose of these parasites retaining their power.
What exactly will it take for all the willfully ignorant jackasses that line up and VOTE FOR THIS SHIT to finally figure out that it's all just a giant scam and that each and every one of these walking viruses in government are unfit for anything other than the rest of their lives in a cell far, far away from any way to possibly do anyone else harm ever again.
What will it take? Do they need to come to your fucking homes, kinap your children, shoot your dog and rape your wife before you withdraw you participation in this ongoing crime?
If you are a reg'd Repub or a Reg'd Dem you are just as much to blame. Keep voting and keep thinking in terms of "winning issues" and such and hope to hell your grandchildren don't slit your thoats as revenge for leaving them with a fucking shit mess of a country ALONG WITH THE FUCKING BILL FOR IT ALL.
A story involving congress ?
Yawn
Nothing but a brunch of actors putting on a show
No relevance and no real power
Errand boys&girls who do what theyre paid to do by their masters . . .
and that sure ain't We The People
Who are the cocksuckers that voted for it, is what we want to know...
Surely a subset of the cocksuckers who voted for it last October....
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-10-16/complete-house-debt-ceiling-vot...
Probably 28 of the 40 or so CONgressmen who have announced that they are retiring after this term.
Enjoy retirement you Cunning Runts.... Or is it Running Cunts? I get confused so easily.
Cunning Runts= Tribe of Pigmies running through the jungle
Running Cunts = Woman track team
Take notes. Spot test tomorrow.
Why work anymore. Just go on social security diabilit, get an Obama phone and free healthcare from Medicare.
Unlimited spending for the next year, probably indefinitely or until the US dollar blows up.
Enjoy it while you can because when the government is forced to stop it will crushing.
Buy more ammo while you can still afford it.
Or get it.
The local Walmart is limiting customers to three boxes per trip.
"How much ammo"
Say, 2000 rounds (minimum) for each lead delivery device...
Ammo is no substitute for economic literacy.
A decent start for sure. Save the brass...
I'd hate to be in the room after the collapse when the last lonely bag of Doritos is perched in the middle of the table surrounded by 20 drooling gun enthusiasts sitting next to 100,000 rounds of ammo...
I got my own Doritos, bitch!
I'm thinking of that scene at the end of Scarface
Tough crowd today...
I'm thinking you'll have someone telling you to `Squeal like a pig` ...
FWIW, I didn't junk ya'.
I remember when it was the Democrats who were incapable of doing anything.
They just take turns playing top and bottom, I guess.
True ... the only thing that's constant is the squeaking of the bed frame. ;)
I think it's more like they fight over who is on top. We're always on bottom.
Ok, you vote NAY, you vote YEA, and we'll see you in Georgetown for cocktails.
Be careful what you ask for. Next in command via Wikipedia:
House Republican Whip, Eric Cantor:
Cantor is the highest-ranking Jewish member of Congress in its history, and currently Congress's only Jewish Republican.
Sounds perfect!
why does it feel you're implying that a congress already in the pocket of lobbyists would fall deeper into the pocket of lobbyists if this happened. dat would be raciss.
they didn't invent money, they're just good at taking it from you.
Being Jewish has nothing to do with it.
Most of the Congressman and Senators who tirelessly advocate for Israel's interests over that of the United States are Protestants.
How long before Congress cuts veterans benefits yet further, and how many days before or after this will there be more giveaways to the "only democracy in the Middle East?"
it's all about the money. follow the money trail and you'll get every answer to a social question (short of the epistemological/metaphysical) you've ever looked for in your life.
Do you realize why the US congress does the bidding of Israel?
It's purely a Rothschild reason dear boy. The five arrows wouldn't have it any other way
Boy?
I'll accept Sir, or Doctor, or Your Grace.
But calling me "boy"?
That's a paddlin'.
I want to cut everything from government; however, cutting should start with Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Pakistan and Egypt and not the American people. Congress values the other countries more than it values our own. Oh yeah, the countries just turn around and spend money on American weapons. Money flows out and comes back to the defense companies. Why don't we just hand the cash straight to the military-industrial complex and cut out the middle man (or in this case the Middle "East" Man)? /Sarc off
I hate the Military-Industrial Complex.
Straight out of Netflix series House of Cards. Perhaps, Speaker Boehner fancies himself an actor in the next leg of his professional life?
Of course, we all owe the Speaker our gratitude...for revealing once and for all that Rs are actually just the other Ds.
Maybe so- looks like he wants to be a bottom on "Oz".....
Cut off the legs of an R and you have a D.
Or something vaguely resembling a "Q"...
Man, Boehner is lucky he doesn't live in a time where it matters how poorly you represent the interests of the people you claim to.
Whats kind of funny is that repub congressmen under Boehner feel the same way as the citizens who live under the repub congressmen.
Circle of life my friends...
Fuck you Boehner you weakling!!!!
yepper...them US Treasury debt downgrades will be arriving shortly
(chirp....chirp)
That's illegal. The 14th amendment says the debts of the USA shall not be questioned. A handy little mod to the 1st amendment for our ratings agencies and econoblogs.
Tick Tock bitchez! Notice how it is a 13 month extension now and not a hard limit. Keep the crack pipe lit as long as you can.
17+13 = 30
So I guess $30 Trillion is a possibility. .......sweet.
What a joke. The republicrats and democans all want to raise the debt ceiling so they can spend more money. Now they don't even specify dollar amounts, only time limits. Easier that way.
I think the country needs to channel a little Thomas Jefferson on how to deal with this.
This evil won't come back to haunt just Boehner, though: it will come back on ALL of us, R or D, white / black / yellow / red & etc., rich & poor, smart & stupid, productive or FSA ....
We will all pay the price for these idiots narcissism, incompetence and corruption. Guillotines indeed, way overdue.
So the repubs took out the brakes from the bus to let Bama crash it in the wall. That should end well.
I have a good memory. Anyone have the video of Boner the first time he caved and looking into the camera and saying this is just beginning of the fight and he will not cave again......That was 5 or 6 cave ins ago !!!!!
Its strategery - gotta think big picture guys...

Democrats are like the Seahawks of politics. All they have to do is show up and watch Republicans stumble and bumble their way to failure. then again, much like football, congress is a tax-dodging monopoly fixed to give you a show. they're on the same team and that team is not mine or yours, it's money's.
all time high S&P tomorrow, bank on it.
Wrong sport ... it's closer to professional wrestling.
Cast your minds back to July / August 2011...
At that time the gold price increase was attributed by the main liner media as being due to the 'debt limit impasse' etc etc..
This was a totally fabricated explanation from the bullion banks. The gold price was rocketing at that time because the bullion banks were using hook, line and sinker to acquire as much physival 400oz bars as they could get there hands on to fulfill the Venezuela obligation of the Chavez call-in.
Any other explanation is BS
Then what about Germany's gold....... should be at $5000 by now !!
Hot damn!
Another year of livin large!
(Don't worry kiddies. You won't feel a thing...
until you grow up and try to earn a living)
The amount of ODIOUS DEBT that will be renounced by future generations is staggering!
Lies, abuse of power and lawless corruption will not be sustainable in the future any more than it is now (only the consequences are, currently, delayed a bit).
Would you hand a politician your 20lbs of gold for safe keeping? Would you let them babysit your infant child? In a life and death emergency, would want a politician to count on? Yet, almost all of us let them represent our rights. If they represent you for your rights, then you have said yes to all the questions above. Revoke any and all implied power of agency.
They don't represent us...
They represent Wasington to us.
And Washington's capacity to put a whole lot of money into god knows what has just gone E.L.E. Ready.
I haven't seen speculation on this just yet, but what if this present budget characteristic goes with, oh, I don't know, WAR on an Alien Invader who announced its presence by taking out lots of infrastructure and parking itself on Mars gesturing for us to "come get us or we'll take out Disney World".
Yep, must be that.
BubbbleJew Yellen to the Print!
Is this news? Does anyone here still think there's a damn bit of difference between the two parties? If so, then you are as dumb as they think you are.
Here are several differences between the parties--
Go kill yourself. Please.
Great, now compile a list of the most odious similarities and begin to grasp why most ZHers, even the ones who spend most of their time attacking other ZHers, basically reject the 2 party system and left/right divide as unremitting horseshit.
Is that you "MDB"?
Somewhere in Huffington Post a Village is missing its trollidiot.
To parafrase Winston Churchill: this is the end of the beginning. We now move to the beginning of the end, because the US has just issued an official death warrant on its own finances.
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.
Your not living in a Government of the People, for the People. I'll let you sort that out when it begins to affect your life, family, and finance. Thank God for our US Military. This shit will be cleaned up in about an hour, when the time comes! :)
What exactly are you expecting from the US Military?!
Skittle-shitting unicorns farting rainbows?
Oh, I’m sorry you don't have friend’s in the military and LEO. Perhaps just going down to mom's basement, it will suit you better. Don’t forget to grab the mac and cheese mom cooked for you on kitchen table.

WTF is a Clean Debt Ceiling?
And does anyone really know wtf is going on any more?
"WTF is a Clean Debt Ceiling?"
The last ones were dirty and they weren't going to make that mistake again?
It is a bill with no strings attached...
Unlike the one where the Republican cocksucker from Missouri slipped in a clause limiting the rights of people to sue Monsanto...

"Clean Debt"? WTF!? Isn't that an oxymoron?
Like fighting for peace, or fornicating for virginity.
Put me down as a member of fornicators for virginity.
There is nothing like "going where no man has gone before"
Sorry for the theft of your signature phrase James T.
hmmm hot green virgin chicks..
Bit like a war on terror. How do these clowns get away with it. THis is one dirty debt plain and simple.
Gold and silver mo
How about the classic:
"I've abandoned free market principles to save the free market system"Huh???
or spending your way to prosperity.
"Deficits don't matter."
- Dick Cheney and all Democrats.
Why all the whining? Let'm take debt to the moon. PM's will surely follow close behind...
If the republicrats had been uncertain about more votes and needed a bigger margin to be sure more republicans would have voted for it ... that most of the republicans voted against it is entirely irrelevant, they voted against it because they could afford to while still passing the bill and because it convinces people the two parties stand for something different.
Or perhaps, you are missing the obvious. To have the Republicans stall stuff and not go along with a a debt ceiling increase would have given lots of ammo to the Democrats this fall. So, they had a vote and it passed. The Democrats are now on record as wanting little or no ceiling on the increase in the debt while most Republicans are on the record as being against that. That will play into how the Republicans campaign this fall. Rather than a capitulation, it was an interesting trap and the Democrats just walked into it.
Pure bullshit. The vote was merely political Kabuki theater. The only thing any of them care about is maintaining their "elected" position for money, power and being above the law so they can get their freak on behind the scenes.
Ok, commit sepeku. Just remember that you have to get the proper second who will chop off your head save a small prirece that remains attached to the neck so that it flips back like a cigarette lighter. I would rather use the sword on the 'crats this fall.
Or maybe NASA told them a planet killing rock or whatever is coming, and the budget will cover up massive secret spending to save essential government personel and their families. Like in Armageddon, Deep Impact, 2013, and so on.
This travesty just authorized more trillions to fund fraud, waste and abuse on a massively LARGER scale! Does this count as treason? Can we start the executions now?
Anyone who voted for this is corrupt, ignorant of basic finance and definitely not representing your best interests. Have you stopped voting for the incumbent just because he's YOUR crook?
Since they refuse to see reason, let their evil be denied, defunded and destroyed. We need to remove from power anyone who voted for this, as soon as possible.

The asshole from Kentucky isn't running again so he is safe.....
It should have been a clue when 28 pairs of pink Hello Kitty kneepads were handed out before the vote.
Almost all of the Republicans who voted against this bill were actually for it passing. The last time this happened the Repubs took it on the chin hard in the polls, and now an election is looming. The nays WANTED this to pass so it's not an issue in the election, but they voted NAY to satisfy their gerrymandered Tea Party districts back home and the right-wing nutjobs on sites like this one. They KNEW it had the votes to pass so their nay vote was safe and they can be heroes. The Repubs who voted YEA should be commended for being honest.
It's all a shit show... 100% bankster owned.
When the media shell shocks the prey on Clean Debt theme. The mixed message should trigger the release of a .0001% disposable spending spree. Weeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhheeeeeeeeeeeee.
My god, someone who actually understands a bit of what is going on...
\hattip
We need a couple more Hello Kitty kneepads here, please.
Are you offering to blow me?
Thanks for the thought, but I'll pass on your offer....
Go team Blue!!!
Keep raising the debt ceiling so we can spend, spend spend!!
