If Durbin is correct, and this cannot pass in time. 3 possibilities.

[Stuart G]

A. Emergancy extension of debt ceiling
B. Going around Congress (14th Ammendment, what Clinton was discussing)
C. Default.

What will it be? I don't know.

1. My guess is B. With Clinton supporting it today, I won't be surprised to see Obama go there. nt

[Warpy]

2. I think it will be A. They'll want to prolong the agony as much as they can

because the slimy bastards realize this is their last chance to please the puppet masters by abolishing as much of social security and medicare as they can.

3. B. is never going to happen. C. most likely will.

[Stuart G]

4. I do think C is a possibility, and the idiots are in favor of it.

but I sure hope not. It would hurt a lot of people, not just investors and rich.
Especially if the default lasts a long time.

5. I agree that B would never happen.

But clearly a emergency extension is far more likely than the first ever default by the US government.

[Ragnarok]

6. I'll bite...

...and guess A as it's everyone's best interest since our economy is based on credit and borrowing. B isn't an acceptable option that many people would accept as legitimate (including myself regardless of whether a D, L or R is President). C could happen, but I don't think people are ready for Mad Max quite yet.

[Karmadillo]

7. A + a binding commission of bipartisan rightwingers.

8. It will be A. Obama lacks testicular fortitude to do B /nt

[mmonk]

9. A

[OmahaBlueDog]

10. A - Obama will cite the Gang o' 6 + Coburn as a "sign of good faith"

Boehner will then have to tell the T-baggers that, as deals go, this is about as good as they are going to get.

[pscot]

11. Kick the can

A

[udbcrzy2]

12. I thought the republicans wanted 'A'

That's probably what they will do, whatever the fucking repugs want them to do.
