JOB KILLING refusal to raise the debt ceiling

[Ruffhowse]

OK, we need to turn the tables on the Republicons and start using some of their own tricks against them. From now on, everyone here and in the progressive media should now refer to Republicons threatened refusal to raise the debt ceiling as the JOB KILLING refusal to raise the debt ceiling. It has been noted here as well as elsewhere that if the US defaults on its monetary obligations, the effect on the economy would be drastic and there would be severe job losses. Let's give the Republicons a taste of their own medicine and make sure every time this default is mentioned, the public is reminded that it will KILL JOBS.

1. And kill Grandma!

:scared:

Hell, why not? It makes as much sense as their BS.

Agree, we have to reframe and keep pounding it home. Something they excel at, something we fail.

2. Obama voted not to raise the debt ceiling.

He isn't going to be able to play that card.

3. He doesn't have to.......

It will be just as effective a message coming from all liberals, progressives, in the media and on the internet, and from all Dems in Congress.
