debt ceiling
Legal Tender for all debts public and private – not so private.

If you weren’t appalled enough by the recent comments against the Tea Party then brace yourself for those of the Dept of Justice. Yup it seems that Obama has made suggestions to businesses to self report financially responsible people who pay in cash, buy waterproof matches and other survivalist supplies to be personal responsible for yourself. Evan to track those who are concerned in the dollars devaluation and buying some Canadian Money.
(Something that If you haven’t thought of already, you should, as Canada has a balanced budget and their money is valued higher than the dollar right now.)
So add to offending comments by Joe Biden, John Kerry, Maxine Waters and the red hated Floridian legislator, this curious report from vision to America regarding the dept of Justice.
Miss George Bush yet? I do!
Call me jaded…

Whenever our President takes a stand on anything, the first thing I think of is, what’s in it for him?
President Obama blasted Congress from the road on Thursday, saying things would be worse if lawmakers returned to Washington.
Did anyone else immediately think Obama was really preserving his own vacation on the Vineyard? If Congress goes back to Washington, those of us who don’t quite understand that “leading from behind” thing, will think he should be in Washington too. And that must be avoided at all costs.
Snarkblogging the Obamadowngrade excuse

Gee, We were downgraded on Friday and it’s only Monday, why the rush? At least he got the “blame the tea party” talking points out as a warm-up. I guess the Tea Party is the new President Bush. (Miss me yet?)
No reason to be on time, Mr. President. It’s not like anyone else’s life matters. Sure you had nothing on your schedule today, but that’s no reason you should not linger over lunch.
34 minutes later – stock market down 341 but hey, whose counting? (Rush calls him “debt man talking”.) I love it. Is the teleprompter broken? Or is this just Obama’s version of “let them sweat”. (yawn)
Market down 402 points. Maybe he is waiting for an even 500 to match Thursday’s performance.
So the only real question is – who will he blame? Oh and will he be petulant, angry or in campaign mode? Is this just a joke for him (e.g. “shovel ready jobs weren’t all that shovel ready, tee hee”).
Darn, I missed the beginning. I came in on Warren Buffet.
~~~
Warren Buffet said S&P was mean and the world agrees. WE need a balanced approach – more taxes and more taxes and more taxes. Europe, Japan and the middle east are all at fault.
Here is the good news. WE can solve this with new taxes. We need to tackle the deficits. And we have historic cuts in defense. WE now need tax reform to get ahold of their fair share and make modest adjustments to medicare. It’s common sense. Those bad corporate jet owners need to be taxed. WE have done all the work, but those horrid people who drew a line in the sand (tea partiers) are the real problem. And it makes no difference that I have done nothing with the debt commission or the gang of six. I have no plan and will never have a plan. I’ll just criticize.
Now I pivot to jobs. We need to spend more money. Extend the payroll tax cut and extend unemployment insurance. If congress fails to do any of those things it will cost 1 million jobs. (I made that up, but liberals will buy it.) WE need another stimulus for union people. And republicans agree – or they have in the past.
This is all a result of economic factors we can’t control. I am definitely not at fault, and we will always be triple A no matter what S&P says. Everyone needs to do it my way. That is not too much to ask. Get rid of those horrid tea partiers as they do not want to do it my way. Real Americans do it my way.
And guess who would always do it my way? The military. And we lost some of them this week. But I have it all under control. I talked to the Generals.
The military is diverse but they all come together, to do it my way, and that is what the tea partiers need to do.
The end
We need a John Kerry downgrade
Aug 7th
Meet The Press must be really desperate. Today they featured John Kerry to talk about the credit downgrade.
Before I tuned out his droning, Senator Kerry declared “We need a tea party downgrade” blaming the S&P action Friday on the people who have spent the last two and a half years telling government to stop spending.
The man is a joke. Last week Kerry told the talking heads on MSNBC that the media should ignore the tea party, not give it any press, because he disagrees with us. I think that is what he said. Kerry is at best a muddled speaker, grasping at words which he hopes will impress, but tend to be completely incoherent.
“The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual, it doesn’t deserve the same credit as a legitimate idea about what you do,”
My initial impulse was to invite Senator Kerry to our next tea party meeting to explain to his constituants why he thinks we should be silenced and censored.
But on thinking about it, I realized few people would attend, having much better things to do than listen to a man who doesn’t care enough for his own state to pay the taxes owed on his yacht.
Isn’t it delightful!

So the President decided to not waste the debt ceiling crisis and got taken to the cleaners. I take delight in that.
The tea party now has great influence on business in Washington. I take great delight in that too.
Dick Durbin declares Keynesian economics “dead“. That is truly delightful.
The tea party scored a political victory. We are now routinely referred to as “terrorists“. That is delicious as well as delightful.
There was no economic victory. Increasing spending by $7 trillion instead of $10 trillion is a joke. I take no delight in that. Our work has just begun.
