WATCH > Debt Ceiling Crisis Gets Dubbed to Sad Ballad: Is It Oddly Inspiring?

It inspires me - to do everything in my power to get these yahoos in congress and Presidency, past and present, to foot this bill, the $14T bill as they, not we, are the ones who couldn't be bothered with responsible accounting and responsible use of hard earned money WE sent them under threat of imprisonment!!!!

now they did it with the co-operation of the republicans. isn't that a kick in the butt?

It's not 14 anymore it's 16.9 TRILLION
here is what you get when you type in 16.9 trillion

Listen from 17:20- 29.00
OBAMA AND THE DEMS ARE KILLING THE USA
THESE FIGURES USED TO BE AMERICAN NOW THERE CHINESE

Totally and completely disgusting what our elected "leaders" have done to America. I'm ready to fire every one of them. Today!

2012 vote out all the morons, R and D, who voted for this 'business as usual' nonsense....they are still borrowing and still spending!

nothing is inspiring about the clowns in DC....Wait, I'm inspired to vote them out..

We are going to be downgraded, interest rates will go up, rich liberal bankers and wall street types will make trillions, poor and middle class will get squeezed dry, what is inspiring about that. The last time the liberals spent us into a depression, it took 20 years and a world war to pull us out. ;-/

Please stop the blame game. It wasn't just the liberals...and I am no liberal.
The real blame lies with us, the American voter, who neglected to perform our job as watchdog over our government.

Some of us did not pay attention. I've been fighting this garbage since Reagan
Conservative American Democrat. I don't care which party If they are wrong they are wrong.

It was sad to the 9th power.......we have lost our confidence in our law makers.....they are a joke!!

They've always been a joke - it just took a lot of badly crafted flim-flam during the past several decades to open lots of people's eyes.

We MUST get the money control away from an irresponsible Congress. Frankly, we should change our way of management of our nation. This will NEVER be over - change it so that hucksters CANNOT steal from us.

start rumours of secession in some of the resource rich states and watch them grovel!!

Ridculous

Anything you can grin about after this fiasco is a good thing

"We Never Let A Good Crisis Go To Waste!" Rahm Emmanuel..2009! And it looks like the Republicans, Democrats, and yes...even the Tea-Party caved to write a debt for us that is a slap in the collective faces of all the Constituents of those who participated in this "Debt Ceiling Deal!" It should be called the "Debit Stealing Deal!" I heard an old Rancher from out here in Texas make a statement in public a long time ago, when Lyndon Johnson was President, "When I get screwed, I want to be kissed!" Only there aren't going to be kisses with this screwing we all got...just higher taxes, and more spending..and more......?

Obama faced reality and Boehner had to be shaken awake , clearly the ceiling had to be raised

These people are nuts! Since when do the rich get off scott free? Why are the rich favored? When it is the very rich - the heads of big greedy corporations - that have ripped off the American tax payer in the first place by shipping jobs overseas, by skimming off the top before profits go to shareholders, by cutting pay, benefits, etc., The very people who have caused the problems are still getting away with it! A big electric company/corporation pays no taxes (that is just one example).. big corporate rotten seeds farmers get subsidies... and we the tax payer pay for it.. and we get what little benefits we have - cut! Both Democrats and Republicans are in on it.. both work for greedy big corporations... All the while we are in hock to China... no wonder Obama's kids are learning to speak Chinese... Chinese manufacturing is going to the USA, mid-america airports have Chinese cargo hubs; I see semi's saying "China Shipping" on the side of the trailers....I see 90 tanker cars on trains labeled "corn syrup"... the poisoning of America... yeah, get'em sick! There is no money to be made if people are healthy

true. the cheaper the food, the higher the health care costs.

Musically it stinks.
Politically it also stinks.

Anything which centers on a tryumph of Harry Reid cannot ever be good for the USA.
The check mark is wrong.
