(3,639 posts)critical that Democrats stand together on this, or it will be extremely bad for the country and the future of the Democratic party.
I am pretty sure that the budget will not get passed on time, the extremists in the republican party will not let it happen
The more critical issue is the debt ceiling, and unless the republican party can control the tea baggers, that will cause an economic disaster in an already weak economy starting to get better.
