I could really give a damn, let's not not raise it. I don't
have much. I'm not going to lose. It is Wall Street and the
Banks that will lose. It will be the $450.000 plus crowd. The 1%.
Not me. Russert on MSNBC is trying to steer the conversations
toward impending gloom. Go to hell Luke, I don't watch
msnbc because of you and Mourning Joe. I change channels
and wait for the Evening crew.

Maybe tanking teh markets wouldn't affect you, but it won't just affect Wall Street. Where do you think union pension money is? How about the retirement savings of ordinary Americans? How about college endowments (and thus the capacity of colleges to offer financial aid)? Or can union workers, the middle class, and struggling students all just more folks about whom you don't give a damn?

Russet and Joe want to cause adversity to draw in an audience.
If the pukes want to hold us hostage .... go for it. What I am
saying is big money wants the debt ceiling raised and they are
the big donors. All us po'folk can do is vote.

obnoxious Luke appears on the screen, I too don't watch Moaning Joe, and during the Cycle I mute when S.E. empty cup speaks.

....Little Luke, I agree 100%. He is an epic fail when it comes to being a journalist.

Thanks for the reply OldDem!

The media wants us to get "up tight" so they can spew their shit.

Should be declared treason with intent to damage America!

They should be arrested immediately and jailed.

Some games can't be played.

And you are right!!!

Obama should send a platoon of federal marshals to Capitol Hill immediately and arrest Boehner, Cantor, McConnell, and the entire Tea Party delegation for treason . . . slap 'em all in Gitmo!!!

Thanks for alerting us to this high crime!!
