These figures are staggering and so avoidable. The economy is bleeding money. Republicans in Congress–all we need to do is to pass a clean CR. You can avoid all of this. The Democrats have already agreed to hold their noses and accept the sequestration figures reflected in the CR.. That’s a pretty big compromise.
Tea party republicans, stop wasting the American taxpayers hard earned cash.

1.) Moodys is an evil corporation that operates to (whisper very softly: make a profit – don’t wanna say that too loud around here) and
2.) I don’t get it. What’s a mispeaker? Is that what we normal Joes call a lying MF?

But is the commissary open?
@Steve Thomas
Yep, I posted that on the open thread too.
A “serial misspeaker.” Doggone. Perfect gentlemanly description of every Third World supreme banana poobah under whom I ever lived and/or worked. Add it to the lexicon.
This is how a banana republic works:

This is a British blog and they are noticing the cronyism and punitive nature of the Administration.
Well, if anyone ought to know cronyism, its the brits.
You and Wolverine are more than welcome to laugh at my attempts to point out how the tea party people are attempting to tear down the country to third world status.
Shiny objects. No real plan. Just shiny objects.
Protest all you want. Each day I have less regard for the ideology that saps rational thought.
“…tear down the country to third world status.” Moon, that is…well…….oh, forget it.
A default on our debts and our government closed would sure be headed in that direction.
Is that were you want our country to be? I sure don’t.

So…you’re leaving the progressive movement? Congratulations!
So far, even MOODY’S has said that no default is predicted. The ONLY people talking about default are liberals in an attempt to scare the American people.
If we keep spending like we are and adding more power to the central gov’t, we won’t be “heading” to third world status…… we will be in third world status.
You keep talking about a “plan?” Why would you care about a GOP plan? Your criticism doesn’t work as you wouldn’t care about a GOP plan if it came gold plated. They have presented plans. They die in the Senate, not even looked at.
“Each day I have less regard for the ideology that saps rational thought.”
You must be speaking about conservatism. Because most of the FOX News viewers that I speak to are out of touch with anything real, and don’t really understand the world they are living in. And my God, the programming on FOX News speaks for itself.
