Why don't we tear the Capitol down and ship it to China? Or maybe we could bring some folks in from India at replace congress? Somebody that wants to work. Not somebody who just wants to show up a couple of days a week, for a few months out of the year and expect a huge paycheck and all the perks and bennies our spoiled lazy congress critters demand. If they don't want to work then bye damned, we need some Representatives in Washington that will work for a paycheck! Let the free trades begin in DC, ASAP!

2. No, too costly there -- outsourcing to India or China would be cheaper.

5. Our worst enemies overseas would prolly do a better job than the
GOPers have! Al Quieda wishes they could disrupt and ruin our country to the extent that the republicans have since 2000.

8. i have a different idea

fbi/depart. of justice or whoever is in charge of financial hustles, arrest eric cantor for stock price/market manipulation, for that matter, i would have white collar crime experts going over every GOP obstructionist's investments w. a fine tooth comb

anyone who holds an investment that benefits from default or delay such as metals, "shorting" the stock market, etc. that person is immediately arrested and charged w. a federal crime if that person is working to hold back on the agreement -- this is against all the laws against insider information and market manipulation to be able to hold these investments while being involved in actions that affect these markets

as far as the debt ceiling, take bill clinton's advice and in accordance w. our constitution the president raises the debt ceiling to what he needs to do, in order to pay usa's obligations and keep our country strong

i wouldn't make a good politician, not interested in compromise, there would already be a LOT of republicans locked in a jail today

it is just too fishy that they are happy to raise the debt ceiling to unprecedented levels if a republican requests it but if it's a democrat we are supposed to save all the money and avoid all that debt so when a republican gets back in, they can go back and steal all the money we saved

bush stole the clinton surplus, we canNOT balance another budget and give these people even more reward for stealing what we save

we should only get into balancing the budget once a significant percentage of republican "leaders" are in federal prison, that is the only way it is safe to save the $$$, otherwise let's spend it before they steal it

Wall Street in time for the big crash of 2008. Greedspin needs to be thrown in the slammer with the rest of the looters.
