First thing you would have to do is to elect people that didn't think Social Security and Medicare were socialism, and needs to be dissolved. You would have to elect people that wouldn't vote to end ObamaCare without anything to replace it with.

So, it seems to me, since you DON'T vote for such people, you're part of the problem, NOT part of the solution.

Told ya

GOP running ads, lying about debt ceiling...MSNBC reports it is working, voters are blaming both parties.

Told ya, buckle up, the cons are going to tank the world economy because they can. I dont know if Joe will stop it, I know if he does they will sue him and it will go to the SC which has 5 that we know of corrupt crimials, so say goodbye to your 401k's.

The scum board cons have already blamed Joe Biden if this happens. Told ya
Told ya
Told ya

too bad these VIOLENT TERRORISTS dont fear the people.

ps

Best case scenario President Biden uses his constitutional power to not default but then maga terrorists will sue him and five of the Supreme Court justices will go along with it. I would hope not, but the more we ask for accountability at the SC the more they will purposely destroy America.
I sigh in your general direction.

The numbers have never worked. That's why faith is needed. You have nothing to fear but fear itself.

Actually, Brad, you're correct. The financial system works as long as people have faith in it. That's why the GOP plan to refuse the cap may bring the whole house of cards down.

i'm betting Biden's right. It takes some balls to up the debt ceiling three times during the last administration. It takes even more balls to tell them to get fucked. :mrgreen:

Faith in what exactly? I’m all faith but I’ve always been raised that you do the best with what you have. As has been said many times “Hope is not a strategy”.

We need a strategy. Hoping that our politicians will stand up and deal realistically with the problem isn’t realistic. Like everything else they wait until things reach a crisis and then do whatever temporary patch will get them thru to the next crisis. It’s the same in business. It’s why when the shit hits the fan, they call turnaround guys to come in and force the issue. It’s why banks call loans. It’s why the House says we aren’t just gonna increase the debt ceiling without and understanding on spending. People in government think this is unprecedented and yet it happens all the time in the world. They just don’t like being told no. No means they have to go to work and deal realistically with problems.

I don’t have much faith in politicians. I hope to be surprised.

The idea that the GOP is going to tank the economy has been a subject on Thom Hartmann for weeks.
Probably so if and when the economy goes into recession the leftist whi support the democratic party can say I told you so. Deflecting blame from Biden and the leftist policies of the democratic party.
On the other hand if the economy doesn't go into recession they will claim that the Biden administration saved us.

This isn't about a recession. This is about your side wanting to melt down the world economy. And you're all for it, even if it hurts YOU.

It is about the democratic party putting forth political cover incase the economy goes into a recession.
You and all other libs will blame the GOP for the Biden administration failure

No. Tell you what, if your side passes a clean cap bill, then we can talk about recession.

If they don't, and the world economy melts down, it's on YOUR side - this is what YOU voted for.

You don't HAVE a point. You don't care WHAT happens to the economy, or anything else, as long as your side wins next year. You are cheering Trump on.

Trump owns the GOP House and he’s openly stated he wants the economy to crash because it helps him. He said so again at his bogus town hall on CNN last week. This is who and what conservatives support. They are terrorists.

I notice that CNN has gone back to what it was in the 2016 election. No surprise, but this time we should fight it.

So, several times in the last few decades, the GOP has made the attempt to shut down the economy. They hate the government, and think the nation would be better off without it. But it hasn't EVER worked for them. For some reason, even their own voters LIKE getting their Social Security checks, and when they stop coming, they get pissed.

Every time they have done this, they have paid a dear price for it. They've NEVER been able to blame the Democrats for it, the voters have blamed those responsible, the Republicans.

But once again, they think they have the secret sauce this time.

They keep doing the same thing over and over, hoping for a different outcome.

And they don't care how fucking many people get hurt in the meantime. They just don't care. Their hateful ideology rules them.

Glenn and Joe VOTED for this. I'd love to hear them explain why they did so.

Please explain why you support that.

This invoking of absolutes only works when trying to describe black holes. The rest of the time it is a sure sign of a small mind.

“100 percent hatred comes from the left “ is the most batchit crazy statement uttered on this board.

The left is for equality. The GOP literally hates gays, minorities, and women. All the hate groups and white supremacist organizations support the Republican Party. The leader of the Republican Party, Donald Trump, is a woman hating rapist, who spends his entire day attacking liberals with childish insults. The poster who keeps saying this spends every single day coming to a liberal community attacking liberals. Non stop. He’s nothing but a hate filled troll who gets his jollies doing so.

Yes, it's utterly delusional, which is which is why I don't get into a time-wasting debate about it.

Anyone who's done time in the real actual genuine American left knows that most of the hatred in that political classification is directed inward towards other lefists with minor doctrinal differences. It's an interesting phenomenon, and I wonder how much of it is encouraged by the political version of double agents or planted provocateurs a la COINTELPRO.

This is bullshit. Trump flat out stated for the House to do this, and that it benefits him politically. Under Trump, the debt ceiling was passed 3 times. It’s their job to pass it, period. It’s their job to pay their bills. So yes, this is on the GOP.

Here’s the fact: If the GOP causes the USA to default on the debt, cause a worldwide crisis, Glenn will blame the Dems and will say the GOP is completely blameless. He’s already setting up for it in posts today.

I’m guessing that JoeMemphis will do the same.We’ll see.
