BREAKING Debt ceiling deal reached 4 mins ago:

And my question is if this deal goes through, what the hell was the purpose of Boehner's argument about obamacare? Republicans get a "bone" thrown to them that people wanting subsidies have to prove their income? What the hell? Don't they have to do that already? My God, if I had the money, I would so be gone from this country on the next plane/train/boat/bus.

he will crown himself king and proclaim he's god

They'll toss this ball back and forth all day, with more and more rhetoric.

Well, I have decided to ignore all of politics and the kabuki theatre that it is. My life will now revolve around me, my family, my friends and just making it day by day. Elections don't matter, so I will no longer invest my time or my energy. I have finally entered the realm of "learned helplessness" and no longer give a shit! People are not waking up and I'm very weary of trying to help them do so. I now accept that the America I knew and loved is dead to my children and grand-children. They will have to make it as best they can. Never thought I would get to this point. Very sad today.

a free 2-3 week paid vacation but me horrific.

idiot.

Craaaaaap....now I gotta redeposit all the cash I withdrew and return the shotgun/freeze dried food I bought....

I too, hang my head in defeat.

They just love pushing the fear, or for us, the hope, until the last minute.

Things will never change...

Call me stupid. Who won and who gave in? If they just passed this and the gov. furlough workers get back pay. Didnt the furlough workers just get a 16 day paid vacation. Seems to me I am in the wrong career field.

Cruz just caved. CNN He will sit down and shut up for once.

Can't the republicans in the House stop it?

Money is illusion.
No government will pay their debt.

A US default is not a good way to get reelected.

Yea that and serving your SECOND term..

Good thing you didn't get your way or your kids and grandkids would be standing in a soup line. US default would have been the dumbest damn thing and you liked the idea. You know what? I give up.

Praise Jesus. My EBT card will work in November and I will be able to feed my 12 kids.

No! Keep preparing-----this just gives you a few more months to prepare!

That's it for America. If you haven't prepped do so now! The shit's going to hit the fan this winter.

LOL no DOOOOOOOM! Right guys?

Idiots. Told you everything would be resolved by this afternoon.

Well it was a compromise, McConnell agreed to cave and Reid agreed to let him!!!

EBT comes from Buddha, Jesus is in charge of welfare checks.

What is a Fillibuster? does it have any legal wait to stop or hold up the house voting?


wow would be an opportune time for a false flag bomb threat or crazy lady in car to put things on hold, maybe she was early.

What does EBT mean?

I think we're going to have our version of the Arab Spring in 2014. I think it all falls apart in February 2014. I think the EBT cards at some point in time will be cut off. Those people will go through a screening and some will become brown shirts, where they will eat and be sheltered in exchange for knocking on doors. The rest of them will go to camp fema.

Zazz...for the record, I am like you in that I am doing well - but it's only for the time being. We are screwed. You'd better listen to some of these people. Of course we weren't going to default now. But our currency is going down the drain.

like the last time... just a pony and horse show.
move a long.

wait till the word gets out to the EBT STAMPERS!!

all the dam ribeyes and diet coke will be gone before i get to the store!

It means your on a computer with a SEARCH (emphasis on search) engine.

What an ass.
