[QUOTE=RichyZ;31442954]they are robots created by xenu no seriously, they are so fucking evil i don't even know how any human could conceive such a hate driven child hitler was better than these dicks, at least he didn't let germanys economy get fucked[/QUOTE] well uh okay :godwin:
Which begs the other question. Do they really think defaulting will help their party? I mean when you're countries fucked, what goods your little party.

I want an answer. Are we going to default?
[QUOTE=AmericanInfantry;31443059]I want an answer. Are we going to default?[/QUOTE] We don't know.
[QUOTE=AmericanInfantry;31443059]I want an answer. Are we going to default?[/QUOTE] I'm betting yes. We'll know Tuesday, or a few days after.
[QUOTE=deathstarboot;31443119]I'm betting yes. We'll know Tuesday, or a few days after.[/QUOTE] come on, boehner! i have 10 bucks riding on economic collapse!
If we default because Boehner's a boner, I'm going to the RNC headquarters and firebombing the shit out of those old circlejerkers.
[QUOTE=AmericanInfantry;31443059]I want an answer. Are we going to default?[/QUOTE] I personally think we'll be saved at the last minute. It might not be the best plan we end up in, but it's better than the default.
[QUOTE=Super_Nova;31443192]I personally think we'll be saved at the last minute. It might not be the best plan we end up in, but it's better than the default.[/QUOTE] At this point we're just trying to minimize disaster, I think.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;31443199]At this point we're just trying to minimize disaster, I think.[/QUOTE] Fine with me.
[QUOTE=Super_Nova;31443238]Fine with me.[/QUOTE] Yeah, better than the alternative. Best case scenario at this point, is that the economy falters a bit, Boehner and the GOP are regarded as fucking retarded morons and then everything goes uphill from there.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;31443267]Yeah, better than the alternative.

I still have a little hope that at the last minute they'll have something configured.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;31443163]hey, at least if the economy collapses, he'll have some money[/QUOTE] Paper isn't going to save him when millions of angry Americans storm his house and roasts his head on a broomhandle.
i'm worried about college prices in the near future. i was hoping to go to medical school:(
I'm quite terrified of this actually, If we go into default, I won't be able to get my education because my family has no money, My dad is getting fucked over at his job (Cutting his salary in half and taking away his benefits because of new ownership) And my mom doesn't have a job. We have no money, We are being forced out of our current home, So if this all happens, I won't have a future, I'll probably be a poor monkey just making enough to feed myself for a night or two. It's a god damn shame it's come to this, but if its what it is, I'm terrified, And if we go into default and i can't support myself, I'll probably just end my own life.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;31441300]This is a better song for the debt crisis. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUmq1cpcglQ[/media][/QUOTE] More like Boehner when in his evil lair.

It's really depressing, even if it most likely won't happen.

[QUOTE=helpiminabox;31443513]Sounds exactly like my situation.[/QUOTE] Doubles up for me too. And I want to be a paramedic, so even if i manage to get through college/achieve my career goal, I will only be making enough to just get by.
So much lives are at risk here it's almost unfathomable.
[QUOTE=Aegis°;31443603]So much lives are at risk here it's almost unfathomable.[/QUOTE] And yet everyone continues to bicker and argue with each other, Some of these politicians just sicken me.
Hope we pull through here.
Seriously republicans, you damn peanut eating elephants.
[QUOTE=Zingly;31443654]And yet everyone continues to bicker and argue with each other, Some of these politicians just sicken me.[/QUOTE] I was watching the debate for the Reid Bill in the house on C-Span. (First time I've done this really so this could just be an everyday occurrence). Every time someone made some somewhat rallying sentence their entire party cheered like a fucking frat house. There was also booing and jeering going on; the president had to call order for a solid minute before people would let one of the Republicans speak because they wouldn't stop making background noise. I don't care about the parties in this case; both sides were doing it equally and it was so completely unprofessional... We've got less than 3 days now, seriously what the hell. And don't even get me started on the Senate... A fucking FILIBUSTER?

I mean I have a flimsy grasp of politics and even I understand how close the country is to being ruined!
Same here, I have taken a backseat on knowing politics, and even then, all I see from the Congress is a bunch of fucking schoolchildren. Wait, no, schoolchildren can be taught, they learn, and could be better. This country is 3 days from going into Hell, and what the Republicans are doing is another fucking filibuster. But all of Congress is a fucking joke, they are at fault. I would have done an executive order, or lock down Congress if I was able to until they stopped acting like little shits and started doing their motherfucking job.
I just have one request if the worst happens, Let me take the head off of one politician before i end my own life.
cant obama use his executive power to push a bill through or something? i mean if any time is appropriate to use executive power, now is the time.
I'm trying to sleep but I'm over-worrying about this. Why am I over-worrying?
