Coffee was not meant to come out a person's nose. You, sir, owe me a keyboard. Good thing it's a cheap piece of crap.

That wasn't coffee that came out of your nose.

If the debt ceiling is not raised, the government is faced with a situation where it MUST break the law,

one way or another.

1. It can either break the law by not funding the mandatory spending that is legally required to be funded, or,

2. it can break the law by somehow ignoring the debt ceiling limit.

Those are the choices.

Clean funding CR and debt increase until December 2014.

Then begin negotiations on reductions.

I major in reality, not fantasy. Attacking me only speaks to the weaknesses of both your arguments.

It was not an attack (are you whining?..and in public too ), it was a question. You're 24ish I believe (just about graduation age) and unemployed so it was a very valid question. I apologize if economics was not your course of study and if that, for some reason, offends you.

I graduated High School when I was 18 you freaking dumbass. I am 26 years of age. And since I have no stomach for liberal academia, I chose to self educate. I am a firm believer in autodidactism, or self teaching. Do not make any more assumptions about me, Seabitch.

Just a reminder, most defense spending is discretionary, not mandatory. In order to stay under the current debt ceiling limit without illegally cutting mandatory spending,

the government would have to defund almost all of the military.

 

[Seawytch]

When the spending cuts have taken place, then we can talk about the debt ceiling.

They have.

Really? I thought this would concern a great deal more people...

quit making promises to pay for things

that the government does not have the money for

every spending bill needs to have a legit funding source

or it dies on the floor

Although those negotiations might begin with a lame duck Republican House to be replaced by a Democratic majority in Jan. 2015.

Now see...I didn't call you any names or cast aspersions of any kind and yet you came back with the, oh so original, "seabitch". I'm cut to the quick, truly.

Good luck with the job search. Just remember...the Army is always hiring. You at least have a HS diploma or GED I assume?

You are launching queries into my personal life that I will not answer to. Debate my argument or not.

The dummy thinks you thought he graduated HS at 24. Is he something else, or what?

The Army! Why didn't HE think of that. He can get a ceremonial saber and everything!

Self teaching? In his case, that presents a crucial personnel problem.

I have been debating your thread and I didn't even ask YOU the question, I asked LL.

Come on out to CA TK...I'll hire ya. It would only be seasonal, but it pays $15-17 an hour. I'll even let you squat on my land while you're here. I need people from end of April through June and again end of Sep through Nov. Come on, you can help the process of Democracy! (how fast can you type?)
