SAD.....BUT, TRUE!
The Eagle Is Gone!

The skunk has replaced the Eagle as the new symbol of the American Presidency. It is half black, half white, and everything it does stinks.
It is said that: If you give a man a fish you will feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime!
New Obama Proverb: If you give a man hope of getting a job, he will vote Democrat for a year! If you give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone, free internet, food stamps, section 8 housing, free contraceptives, ninety-nine weeks of unemployment, free health care and free medicine... He will vote Democrat the rest of his life and several more times after he's dead.

The Federal government should not be in the mortgage business. That in part was what got us into the mess we're in.

Banks and mortgage companies are open today. Can't qualify with them it's probably not the right time to buy a home.

Leno made a point last night. Since a third of government is shut down shouldn't taxpayers get a tax refund?

Surely we're not going to pay workers for staying home and doing nothing! Or are we?

i know i heard some people saying on the news that they blame the administration as much as congress for the shutdown...but how can that be?
i guess they don't understand the process on things like the debt ceiling. this is congresses baby, not the presidents.
and now i'm seeing stuff about boehner emails being leaked. they say he said one thing publically, another privately-so why leak them? we all know that pols are liars and hypocrites!!

I'll vouch for that..and if the IRS is down, do we still have to pay taxes

You have it backwards. There are a number of gov't employees considered essential who are still required to work, even though they are not getting paid. When the shutdown ends, they may or may not get paid for the work they did during the shutdown. Depends on how Congress feels.

Well those at work today and in the future should be paid.

Those that were furloughed and stayed home should not.

And the furloughed fed employees who chose to march in front of the Dirksen Federal Bldg. in Chicago yesterday and today are getting some much needed and long overdue exercise and should be happy for that.

one of the more obvious side benefits of this national cluster f is that a weak democratic candidate in the virginia governors race is going to get a free pass to the governorship.

you really couldn't script a better scenario for terry mcauliffe. the virginia republicans change their nominating process to a convention from a primary empowering activists who nominate tea party favorite ken cuccinelli. who now has to explain that he opposes the tea party in congress and that somehow he is different from the national movement. good luck.

virginia is going to be another election that republicans could have won but didn't.

Demotards need to play this up in the media, how we are vulnerable for an attack. They also need to play the "World Wide Depression" angle if we default. We are after all a nation that basis our conclusions on Sound-Bites and headlines.

There's a interview in Chicago that's on continuous loop with an old lady saying she paid in SS money her whole life and now congress won't let the President send her the money that's there.

If only she knew the money isn't there, never was and congress needs to raise the debt ceiling so the President can borrow more money to pay her.

Reminds me of the degenerate gambler that goes to the barber to ask for $10 to make a bet. The barber says, 'You already owe me $20'. The gambler responds, 'yea but if I don't get the ten, I can't pay your $20'

We anticipate total tax revenues at $2.7 trillion for 2013. Our budget should be under that. Instead of another jury-rig fix of borrowing more money, let's shut down all non-essential government employees/programs, adjust it to run under $2.7 trillion, raise the debt ceiling and then re-start it. Until then let's pass a 3-month essential spending bill and let congress and the senate to get to work.

It's going to be painful but imagine the pain of interest payments on a trillion dollars times every year infinitely?

If the President thinks his healthcare program is so essential, let him find a trillion that is less important. Stopping billion dollar programs like destroying cars is a start. This guy spends money like a spoiled kid at Chuckie Cheese and gets the same junk in return.
