We have been played !!!

Those are the words of Rush Limbaugh and it appears they capture what is about to happen - our congressional leaders giving Obama the one thing he wanted most, enough money in the debt ceiling to avoid having to deal with it during the coming election cycle.

Thanks for nothing.

There is nothing in this bill that will demand systemic changes that will keep the big spenders in congress from continuing their purge of the "good faith and credit of the United States." Understand that 3 trillion in "cuts" will prove to be nothing more than "gimmick accounting." Worse, the three trillion in "cuts" will be weighted against the 14 trillion in increased debt over the same period of time.

Absolutely disgraceful.

Screw the re-election of Obama !! What we need to do is rid the GOP of the Establishment, big spending, leadership that has plagued the party over the course of the past several decades. As things stand today, every man, woman and child owes $48,000. Our nation owes $160 trillion in unfunded liabilities as we project Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid over the next 20 years. Our big chance to get things back on track is being sacrificed, all in the name of Democrat hostage taking - using made-up penalties and scare tactics once again, to get their way.

The Democrat leadership are liars all, to the man and woman, and the GOP fares just as poorly, but worse -- they are not the leaders we had hoped they would be.

Shame on them all

The real heartache, in all this, is that the national debt will consume this country. The line "we must save Social Security from the villains who would change its function" will be used until it becomes impossible to pay that bill. The Democrats have sealed the doom of this great country. . . .and what will happen when, suddenly, the welfare fountain runs dry (and it will)? Riots, the rape and plunder of those who "have." That is our future.

Thanks for nothing !!!

Understand that if the patriots win the coming election, there will be hell to pay if we do not deal with the issues of unbridled spending, increased government and the likes of John McCain.
