Connecting the debt ceiling dots …and… Disaster capitalism/government |
|
1. We all know that the debt ceiling is a routine government economic housekeeping bill.
2. This has been done 90 or so times before, yes with some 'no' protest votes but it was never held hostage.
3. 1 + 2 = made up crisis
4. The Budget, made up of spending, cuts, and tax increases, is first presented by the President and then negotiated in the House and the Senate as a matter of normal Congressional activities that are never ties to the debt ceiling.
5. 3 + 4 = really made up crisis.
6. The President said they have no plans to invoke the 14th Amendment.
7. The rating agencies (Moody's) is stating that it will 'downgrade' America's Bond/Treasuries ratings UNLESS there is spending cuts.
8. 5 + 6 + 7 For the first time, the rating agencies mandate a spending cut thus giving a false mandate to install cuts Right Now. The end game - they have it out to steal the very last dollar you and I have.
This is a very, very, dark and ruthless plan, enabled by all Republicans, blink blink the president, and most Democrats.
And they seem to be getting away with it because 1) we let them, and 2) we are incapable of connecting all the dots...

5. Maybe you need to learn where to direct your ire |
|
Everyone else in the country is figuring it out. The hooligans in the house are attempting to destroy our democracy.

..I am primarily pissed at the Teabagger GOP. They are a horrid, destructive minority who should all be impeached.
But I am also pissed at the President for treating them as having legitimate points, and for giving the whole GOP what they want without a fight.

7. Playing into the falseness of this made up crisis is not legitimate |
|
The Ultimate Test of the fate of America will occur on or about Aug 2.
Either the President will sign a good bill, invoke the 14th, or side with the Reps....
It is as simple as this.

There is no reason for him to "let this happen" you're missing motive.

2. I was thinking the same thing the other day. |
|
The next step will be putting all of our public assets for sale, like national parks. Dirt cheap, for a temporary short term gain.

8. I don't think this manufactured. |
|
This is what happens when voters become cynical and apathetic. These asshats got in office because a bunch of racist screwball voters got motivated and got rid of the Democrats in congress that represented their districts.
Unfortunately the GOP candidates that they voted into office weren't just playing up to the bat shit cray ideology of their voters, they really are bat shit crazy and now we are all paying for it including the GOP, and I doubt that wall street or corporate america is very happy either.

9. Nothing in politics and government is by accident... |
|
This is all well to planned....
Just like the Patriot Act, the huge Patriot Act, was (relatively) immediately available for passage...

But I'm also busy trying to survive which limits my time.
