Can't wait for Aug 3rd
 

I really, really hope nothing is signed and the US goes into default. End social security, end medicaid, end medicare would be good too.

I can't wait for tomorrow. :p
..then Monday, etc..

Not me, I don't have anything planned for Sun, Mon, Tues.

Even if nothing is signed to raise the debt limit...there will not be a default on the debt. The interest will be paid just as it has always been. Social Security...Medicaid and Medicare will not end. The military will be paid...as well as the Veterans. Everything else will be up in the air and there will be repercussions.

That's what you think.

you must be a broke loser who doesn't care if their business crashes and burns, if you even have a business. most of the people who hope for a default have shit fuck all or think they are smarter than everyone else and can somehow gain from the situation.

I never said anything about businesses crashing / burning. Don't put words in my mouth ass wipe.

What is "shit fuck"?

Anyone can gain from the market falling, just like you can. The dumb asses are those that leave their money in the market while it crashes. That's just pure stupidity.

It is what the lawmakers have stated...so based upon their statements...yes it is what I think.

And you believed them?! You dumb ass.

You are now dismissed...thank you very much.

The US won't default.. They'll pay their debts and some of the major bills but then there would be shutdowns just like 95/96.

No problem dumb ass. Go home, pick up your toys like a little baby. :1orglaugh

I'm hoping for a complete default, but I'll take what I can get.

i don't play the market. i belive its corrupt and a large part of the troubles we are having now. they are buying and selling things 2,3,4 times over that only exist on paper. anyways, i run a business that relies on small to medium businesses having capital to spend so i and millions more would be screwed by such a thing.

they wont default...

It might be very painful but it would teach americans a lesson.

That might make the pain very worthwhile.

I personally rather hope we do crash into the debt ceiling, and then default. Go thru a month of misery, have all of our interest rates jacked, watch millions go without money, see the markets writhe in pain.

Sometimes a near death experience can be transformational.

I'm never in the market longer than I need to. I'm all out right now, but not before I made a nice bag of money from BIDU last week.

How is it a large part of the troubles?

What about the over valued real estate that AIG insured? Who was the dumb ass that allowed that to happen?

Sure, that will happen.

Ding, Ding, Ding. Exactly what I want.

NPR reported that if the US does default, one of the things it means for us, is the major credit cards companies and banks will raise interest rates on credit cards...it dawned on me that maybe thats what this is all about...besides all the BS fronting shit...a nice little tick up in credit card rates would be good for them...

I thought about that the other day. What if this is just some big scam for a few to make themselves extremely rich?

I agree, suffering among all seniors, adults, and children!!!!

Holy fuck you two are sick. Just leave the fucking country so none of us have to listen to your shit.

What about the tax payers that suffer from being forced to give up a percentage of their pay checks to people they don't fucking know? Are you a socialist?

Default is for losers

dance puppets dance. default ... debt ceiling ... are you shitting your pants yet? LOL lets party

You guys better pay back Canada..we be cutting off the power and the maple syrup

Go ahead, shut it off.

was thinking that as well. even if they don't default (which they wont) rates will rise and suck even more money to the banks.

makes sense as all trails for the tea party now lead back to wall street and big business.

Pornless = Clueless

Really, all dems and independents who lean dem should be hoping for us to hit the debt ceiling, for a suspension of payments, then a default.

You should be hoping for a few months of economic misery, for the checks not to appear in the mailboxes or the accounts, for the suffering, and yes for the deaths.

You republicans should be dreading it. And see in it the beginning of your end.

I cant wait for the 1st...

Cause its my birthday ! :GFYBand

So everyone has to be nice to me all day !!!

I don't believe people who wish this fully understand the scope of what they're wishing for. Why would you want people who are fighting to defend this country not to get paid, nor those who have fought and were injured to the point of not being able to work again while defending our freedoms. That's beyond anti-American!

Then you have those people who have worked their entire lives and paid into the system their entire lives, who were told by our government they could count on that money when they retire. This wasn't lack of planning, it was trusting their government and expecting to get back a piece of what they put in.

The disabled, who also had to pay into the system in order to get this INSURANCE benefit. They were hurt and now wish to collect on what's rightfully theirs.

Of course there are abuses of the system, certainly not the majority.

In total, about 55 million people receive social security payments. Even if the approximate payment per month is only $1,000, that's a decrease of $55 billion dollars just for August. This will not just hurt those people who receive the benefits, but our entire economy will be affected. Every day business will lose mass amounts of money, mass layoffs will ensue, we'll be thrown into a spiral of internal collapse that has never been seen before.

You think you'll benefit from this?

55 million pissed off people, out of work, no money to pay for rent, food, etc. Good God, even if only a small % are pissed off enough to fight back, imagine the chaos on the streets.

I wish people would think before they speak/type.

super hero obama to solve this problem

Dont be mad at him. He is just saying what the pundits tell him. You are right so many businesses run on credit, employment agencies for one, companies that do a 60 to 90 net.
What I worry about is when those credit cards people use to buy porn with go to 30 to 40 % interest they will go sit in a drawer and sales will dry up. Also these people that think some how things will be better if this happens. Like if it all crashes and burns things will be better afterwards. Nope it will get really really bad for a long time.And most here dont have the means to sit something like that out.
This isnt about debt its they want to make Obama a one term president. They dont care if they sacrifice the economy to do it.Why else do you think they want to break the raising of the debt ceiling in two parts so the second part is right before the election. Watch they take it all back, they will start spending like drunk sailors again like they did during Bush and Reagan. Its a game and I blame Obama for playing it with them. I wish Hilary had won at least she had balls.

tea bagger!

My argument was for soldiers pay. Please read before you rant. By defaulting, our soldiers won't be paid. I was not arguing for or against other military spending. Is military spending out of control, absolutely, but not paying our soldiers isn't a solution.

Again, this has nothing to do with the people who've already paid into the system, such as seniors and the disabled. They paid money to ensure their entitlement benefits. It's not their fault the government mishandled these funds and they don't deserve a default

No, you absolutely don't. This wouldn't be good for anyone. Perhaps this was just you acting tough, more than sensible.

I think your rant was more an argument against talking points you've heard on the news than against the points I was making. Calm down, take a breath, and than try again!

How original.

Then they shouldn't have joined. They knew the risks of going to combat, why do I have to support their decisions to go fight?


Suckers lol.




This is false. A majority of the disabled have never paid anything into the system.




They were duped by those they elected. If they didn't pay SS, they'd already have their money and then they wouldn't be pissed off.

There will be no default regardless of what happens this weekend.
