The market decline we saw in the last 2 weeks had nothing to do with the U.S. debt and it's ceiling ... (see Denmark as the only other country with a Debt-ceiling which is so high as to never be attainable ...) ... it was caused by uncertainty of the Debt-Ceiling debate ...

It was a manufactured hoax by the GOP/Tea Party as the first time in U.S. History ... this was confirmed by Boehner, McConnel and the Tea Party as holding America hostage until they got 98% of what they wanted ... or cisis-causing filibuster ...

The right-wing wackos like West and Boehner are starting to creep out and blame Obama for this market downturn for not giving-in to them ...

I don't see how they can last now especially at the human capital level say like Wisconsin who are taking their state back ...

You need a new slogan now ..
Well it's clear, you have no problem with the us running up so much debt that it would have to fold(see Greece) I on the other hand, really would like to see some fiscal sanity in Washington.
