I want a full fledged crash if we go past the 17th deadline. No wimpy crash but

[CK_John]

something to tell the great grand kids about, the crash of ot '13.

[Niceguy1]

1. no, that

Would destroy many luves, including mine.

How can you wish that?

Sounds tea partyish to me. Thats what they want.

[berni_mccoy]

2. No thanks. Enough damage is being done.

[CJCRANE]

3. If dystopia is your thing, then watch a sci-fi movie or read a book. nt

[pintobean]

4. That's asinine.

Those responsible won't suffer, we will.

[irisblue]

5. wow...

just wow...

[Skidmore]

6. My, aren't you compassionate.

Don't let the suffering of thousands stand in the
way of your bloodlust.

[redwitch]

7. why?

Sounds like a really bad idea to me.

[CK_John]

9. If it is not, it will just become a bi-annual tactic.

[uponit7771]

11. ...that democrats WONT pull and GOP will pull ad nasea

[newfie11]

8. You know not what you ask for. Nt

[uponit7771]

10. Makes sense, if it doesn't hurt really really bad people will think it's OK to default on loans or t

...to crash the governments economy

[B Calm]

12. There goes my retirement. . .

No thanks!!

[sibelian]

13. I assume you're being purposefully facetious...

I really REALLY hope you're being purposefully facetious.

A crash won't be any fun.

[CK_John]

14. But we can't keep saying it will be very bad, if it's not. 4 yr old learn that pretty quick.

[enlightenment]

29. I don't really understand the logic behind that.

We can say that it would be really bad if a mile-wide asteroid hit Earth. We don't need to have it happen to know that. We can say it will be really bad if ocean levels rise with global climate change; again, we don't need to have it happen to know that.

Just because this nation has made it 224 years without a default, it doesn't mean we have to have one to know what the consequences would be. Some things can be rationally determined without doing a trial run.

[sibelian]

38. Yes. Destruction-testing something that've you only got one example of

isn't wise.

[hobbit709]

15. It may take something that drastic to make the teabagger voters realize they've been had.

[TomClash]

16. Some people in my city went hungry in '08

I know because I helped to feed them.

And that is the tip of the iceberg. I am not sure you have really considered the potential consequences of a full-fledged crash.

[Sheldon Cooper]

17. No thanks.

Several people that I am close to are utterly dependent on the SS checks. Even one month without it would mean ruin. You're free to wish for your own destruction, but no one else's.

Shitty.

[leveymg]

18. Only if it kills the large scaly carnivores at the top of the food chain.

Making the world safer for the little warm-blooded mammals down here at ground level.

19. Me too.

20. Do you realize how many regular folks would lose a shitload of savings, etc.

Very ignorant Op.

[we can do it]

21. What the hell is wrong with you? This is not a game, it's people's lives.

[DCBob]

22. no you dont.

[MiniMe]

23. I understand wanting to educate the repubs on their own foolishness

The thought has crossed my mind too. But too many people would be hurt by it worldwide

[NightWatcher]

24. why not just set your house on fire tonight, you can tell your grandkids about that

and the only people you are hurting with your insanity would be you/your family. Thanks

[obxhead]

25. Only if you are the only person it hurts.

Personally I would like to see any crash adverted.

[cthulu2016]

26. The word sociopathic gets tossed around too much these days...

so I will just call this OP ill-considered

[lonestarnot]

27. And you must wear Depends brand? Are adult diapers considered a medical device?

[JoePhilly]

28. A fulfledged crash is just as likily to lead to a Christo-facist future as it is

to lead to a Socialist Liberal Utopia.

[DireStrike]

32. I'd say it's more likely

The left is super weak in this country.

[JoePhilly]

33. Far less organized.

Religious folks will organize ... the left will debate endlessly.

[DireStrike]

35. Well it doesn't help that they have monied backers

And that government continually infiltrates, breaks up and derails any significant leftist organization, while right-leaning ones, even outright fascists, are allowed to exist so long as they aren't plotting terror attacks right this very moment.

The establishment is extremely hostile to leftism.

[JoePhilly]

37. That's a convienient way to say that the left can't oragnize

because no one will let them.

The bottom line remains that if there is some super crash, the version of utopea that follows isn't the one that leans left.

[former9thward]

30. The market has been up 450 points in the last two days.

They aren't worried about the 17th so you will not get your crash.

[Ikonoklast]

31. Fuck that noise. Anyone calling for that is an idiot.

You want an economic disaster the likes of which the world has never seen before, throwing billions into misery?

You like war? You'll see plenty of them.

You are on the same side as Teabagger Dominionists, looking to bring about the End Times.

[kestrel91316]

34. I "want" it only on an intellectual level because it would:

A) Impoverish the REAL "takers" in this country (and around the world), and

B) Would teach the "small government" crowd a lesson they won't forget.

But I don't really want it. It would lead to far too much tragedy for the Little People.

[roamer65]

36. Be careful what you wish for...you just may get it.

Murphy's law says it will be different and worse than what you expect/want.
