Will the teapukes default on our debt and force a boatload of hurt

on our economy and citizens? I'm beginning to think they can and will. WTF is wrong with them, and why the fuck aren't the democrats taking to the airwaves screaming from the top of their lungs that there are hostage takers in their ranks who are using extortion and threats of destroying our fledgling economy and that they will act upon that extortion to get their way.

This is what you get when you appease fuckers like this. They demand more and more and more.

We've already had sequestration, as a result of their last extortion raising the debt limit. They got what they wanted, and never had to negotiate a budget to do it. They've had a long game plan and they are going to stick to the course, I guess, citizens be damned, they must get their way.

If the US defaults, and the teapukes cause a self inflicted wound of the magnitude of the Great Depression, what happens to them? Does it even fucking matter at that point?

that. In that event this will go to the supreme court, and rule at least 5 to 4 that the country cannot default.

Who really gains by failure of the government? The people that oppose the existance of a federal government.

Who really opposes the federal government? The people that chaff against the limits imposed by that government .

Who is chaffing that matters? Well...they guys who want a tar-sands sludge pipeline, the guys who want to frac North America, the guys who want to make all water a private commodity...the guys who want to sell more herbicides...the guys who want the benefits that should rightly accrue to the super-rich who 'know' what is 'really' needed to make the country work.
