First off… ROFLOL!!
Secondly, straight from the Jack’s mouth :
“Some of our members may
have thought the default issue was a hostage you might take a chance at
shooting. Most of us didn’t think that. What we did learn is this —
it’s a hostage worth ransoming.” – Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R)
Take a second and think over that language from the Senate minority leader: “It’s a hostage worth ransoming.”
That’s not just the debt
ceiling he’s talking about. That’s the full faith and credit of our
country. That’s our economy. That’s your bottom line.There is a fiscal cliff
coming toward us. We do need to rein in our deficits and debt. They
amount to generational theft. The world’s largest debtor nation cannot
remain the world’s sole superpower for long.What’s frustrating is
that we know the way out. It has been detailed in bipartisan plans from
the Bowles-Simpson commission to the Rivlin-Domenici commission to the
Gang of Six and the outlines of the “grand bargain” that was almost
achieved by President Obama and Boehner. – John Avlon, a CNN contributor and senior political columnist for Newsweek and The Daily Beast
