Default More Republican political tricks

The Reps voted no on a bill that would raise the National debt $1,2 trillion to keep the US from defaulting on debts already paid. The deadline is Jan 27.

Of course it's just a bluff to gain some kind of political advantage, and playing fast and loose with the US integrity could even effect our credit rating, but the Reps don't seem to care, After more political posturing the bill will pass, as it always has in the past

We should raise the debt limit to 100 trillion, print that money, give everyone every thing that could want and,....why not?

The problem is the Government cannot run the country on a balanced budget, and all the bare bone cuts that were made hasn't made any difference.

One cut = one less worker. One less worker = one less income tax. Result, a zero game with one less worker

Right, think of the underemployment that will be caused by not having military bases all over the world and bombing the fuck out of brown people for oil.
