And this isn’t happening a few weeks after a November election, with plenty of time before a new Congress begins in January. We're in the middle of a congressional session, with serious deadlines -- the debt limit, funding to keep the government running, and more -- approaching rapidly. If Republicans can’t decide on their own leadership, how are they going to pass anything at all, let alone bills that require tough votes?
Okay, so does anyone know what the November 5th deadline for raising the debt limit consists of? Are we back against the wall, needing cash to redeem bonds? Because if we are, that hasn't made its way into the media ... and jesus, you'd think the media could give a damn whether the nation collapses or not. It might be possible that the media is sooooooooo stupid, it doesn't understand the consequences of defaulting on your bonds when there's over #13 Trillion of them floating around pretending to be the asset/reserve for the planet. The nation collapses, world trade collapses, and the planet has to hit reset on world trade. Maybe this was what Jesus was looking at when he told us, "for then shall be great tribulation"?
We've been playing with fire and I'm wondering how close we are to getting burned. As usual, there's nobody in the media remotely aware of what is really happening. Right now, I'm wondering how ugly this gets. If you had to draw up a scenario for disaster, this would be it. No one wants to step forward for the good of the country, not even that guy from Wisconsin who recently ran for Vice President. The House Speakership would be his for the taking right now - that's the #3 position in power in this nation, right behind the Vice President - and this mess could bring the republic to its knees if he keeps saying "No".
surreal moment for America
