A sham
Rand Paul on the debt deal: When you’re speeding toward the edge of a cliff, you don’t set the cruise control. You stop the car.
The cuts aren’t cuts. There’s no debt reduction. We don’t have to pay the waiter yet. And when he comes back, we can always just order coffee.
Business as usual.

Markie Marxist sez: “The car isn’t going to stop as long as we commies have our foot down on the accelerator pedal. Ask my commie compadre, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. She doesn’t want to stop; she’s enjoying the ride! Ha! Ha! Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Ha! Ha!”

Something about insanity and expecting a different result?

Hey, we get two kinds of spending cuts – insignificant and imaginary.
My chances of being a billionaire before retirement are looking better and better.

“My chances of being a billionaire before retirement are looking better and better.”
No kidding. What are we going to do with all of those wheel barrows full of cash when it costs a million dollars for a loaf of bread? We could even be trillionaires; when the debt (post inflation) reaches into the quintillions. How cool is that?

I’m sorry but you are wrong. The media tells me that disaster has been averted. Phew.

There will be no default if the compromise bill isn’t passed. The interest on the debt will still be paid. It’s the first thing that is paid. There just won’t be money available to pay for everything that’s been budgeted.
So start cutting. Defund and end the ATF and the Dept of Education for starters. Stop foreign aid. Stop paying billions out for illegal aliens. Stop funding the UN.

Yep, we’re f**ked…
