I agree with the President... let the GOP cause the country to default...
for about 30 seconds.....
then it's theirs, totally, completely, they have shown their intention to wreck the country...
the 30 seconds later....
"Because the Republican Party has chosen to prop up their political gains instead of the faith and credit of the nation, I have, under the authority of the 14th amendment to the constitution, instructed the secretary of the Treasury to continue to pay the bills of the United States of America and the 'debt limit' will no longer be considered. The United States is NOT a deadbeat nation.. we pay our bills....
and I'm having 20 500 billion coins minted.. people didn't like a trillion for some reason."
Game. Set. Match. The GOP is phucked for the next generation or three.
