2. Absolutely - and don't think they won't do it.

3. Heck, supposed we went to war, even though it rarely happens.

If we have a debt limit wouldn't that limit our building an army that would make us the strongest in the world? You are right. We have turned into a nation of weenies.

And are now trying to pretzel them into something else.

Keep on keeping on!

Glad you're starting to understand the bill, though.
