"debt ceiling"

What a JOKE!! Maybe the Republicans should consider cutting the war budget instead of just austerity measures to the ordinary American. They don't want to upset the bigs/fatcats/oil companies who support them. All of the wars we are a part of are rooted in oil control. We don't care about the countries that kill their citizens UNLESS they've got lots of oil.

The whole debt ceiling crap is complete fear mongering. "Financial armageddon" will never actually happen. The government can print money endlessly, so obviously we won't default. If we hit the ceiling the executive arm will overstep its power and declare a national emergency and from then on the prez will be able to do anything he/she wants without any checks and balances.

The sick thing is O-bomb-a is going to come out looking like a savior. His ‘12 campaign slogan will be, “I saved all of you from missing out on social security and disability checks.” Republicans are committing suicide. Instead of coming across as “badasses” they’re just being asses. I wish it wasn't so. The Dems are just as bad and self-serving. We've had a one party system under the guise of two parties for far too long. Wish I had a solution.

On a lighter note, Lesson #9 in Teach Your Child to Read has the child start sounding out words. We did Lesson #10 today, and Gabi was sounding out "sat" "am" and I don't remember the other. It's going great! I bought some "school supplies" at Walmart today. I always love a brand new notebook--got myself four hehe.
