Maybe we don't need the government
Quote from: p1k3 on October 12, 2013, 09:16:52 AMMaybe we don't need the governmentI would guess we need about 25% of it. The rest would just be "too difficult" to dump (think of the GDP number ). We clearly don't don't the part that was sequestered and most of the part that's shut down.
Maybe they heard congress had submitted a clean bill to keep nationalparks open and were surprised to learn the Senate turned it down.

Well, the USDA would be nice.Also, it is nice to have some people working for free.
Heard today that there will be no deal and that BO will be forced to use executive powers to fund the gov and then the house will impeach.

I really don't think the Supreme Court would rule that the debt ceiling is even constitutional, and it would really be nice to see that challenged so we can stop going through all of this garbage every year.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Do you still believe that raising the debt ceiling is a prerequisite to servicing our debt? I mean, I can't really blame you for being confused, what with all the "default" lies from this administration and media lapdogs.
