You are.

They will always see that in my eyes.
I am the passion; I am the warfare.
I will never stop...
always constant, accurate, and intense."

that would be consumerism.  And just what the slave owners want.


I always appreciate most the present that someone was thoughtful enough to steal for me.

We are going to default.  It is almost a certainty now.  The Tea Party is crazy enough to let it happen and Obama should've threatened to lift the debt ceiling on his own.

Could he still lift it unilaterally at the last moment?

There's still legroom for them to resolve things until November, beyond that time default is imminent. But considering the fact the credit agencies are already talking about downgrading the U.S economy, it may not even matter if it doesn't default yet.
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

Well they better announce a deal in less than 24 hours, because if they don't any means to pass a bill will definitely take longer than the 17th. By that time, the chain reaction for a economic collapse might be already brewing. From what I read, there's a few tricks the U.S Treasury can try to avert default for at least a month after the debt ceiling is reached. But even with that, America's credit rating will still crash (read downgrade to oblivion the longer it goes on).

If you need to borrow money so you can finance the institution that borrows the money, IMHO your credit rating *should* crash. :dunno:

I keep hoping the members of congress will just go all wwwf and start breaking chairs over each other's heads.  I think that would be more productive than what's happening now.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.
