You all understand that there is a difference between this "government shutdown" and the debt ceiling issue, right? | |

The debt ceiling is a different issue. If the debt ceiling is not raised, then the US Treasury can not make any more auctions of new debt, and so it can not account for the daily expenditures, and can not pay for the maturing debt. WROOOOOOOOOONG. No debt ceiling = no deficit. That means you can pay interest on the debt but with taxes... That means a 30-40% cut of the budget overnight. |

Raising the debt ceiling = paying interest on the debt with more debt since there's no way these fucks in congress will cut the budget before it all blows up. The only way to force them to do so would be no debt ceiling increase. |

I think you are a little confused... Let me explain it again: if the the debt ceiling is NOT raised, the US Treasury can not make any new auctions of new debt. So, where the Treasury will get the money from, since the government has a deficit? But if it's just a "shutdown" caused by the federal budget 2014 issue, the Treasury can STILL make auctions of new debt. This "shutdown" is not a threat to the BANKERS, there is no risk of the US Treasury going to a DEFAULT because of this silly "shutdown". The real risk for the BANKERS is the debt ceiling not being raised. |

I'm not discussing what they "should" or what they "should not" do. I'm discussing the fact that if the debt ceiling is NOT raised, it will be the Armageddon for THE BANKERS, so, since the bankers RULE THE WORLD, it's obvious that the debt ceiling WILL BE RAISED, and this "government shutdown" bullshit is just a litte theater. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45932415 yeah, yeah... there is NO REAL POSSIBILITY of the Congress not raising it the Congress may let the government go into a little "shutdown" for a few weeks, but THEY WILL RAISE THE DEBT CEILING, so the Treasury can auction new debt |

The first taxes that come in, pay the interest on the debt. Whatever is left pays for the budget. There's no fucking DEFAULT. It's all scaremongering crap from DC so that you accept the financial rape. |

So, in a matter of 3 or 4 days, the Treasury may go on technical default, for not having the money to redeem the bills and bonds maturing on those days. And a technical default of the US Treasury means DERIVATIVES DOOM, and the meltdown of the international financial system. |

Yes the alleged government shutdown is a smoke screen. The national debt has been artificially capped at the ceiling for months while the fed churns our 85 billion dollars a month in economic life support for a zombie currency. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

Didn't JFK and Lincoln basically do this? So there is historical precedent. |

They are currently shutdown so maybe sometime after they reopen. ..officially oct. 17.. but nov. 4th is when they will only have 30 billion left and that's bad or something. But what will happen after that?? I can't seem to find straight answers. |
