When I proposed at least giving her $50 (a lot, to me, at the time) she insulted me saying it was a 'drop in the bucket' and that I shouldn't bother until I got serious. Of course, she kept charging me interest and the bill just kept going up. Long story short is that the debt wasn't settled until I settled her estate.

..no one gets to see the details until they work them out..HUH??? what the heck does that mean? Sounds like Pelosi saying we have to pass the obamacare to find out what is in it...
but we do know that Boehner and his rino buddies are now counting the 39b from the Obama budget that was never even submitted, the billions they had already gotten from the two previous continuing resolutions, from non reoccurring accounts that they already knew would not be spent, and using "smoke and mirrors" to quote Boehner.
But worst of all these rinos got elected by PROMISING us in the Pledge to America they would cut 100b.. right? You still trust them?
Boehner let the dems control the speech.
It is NOT shutting the gov down.. it is FURLOUGHS for NON essential employees. I took twice as many furlough days as my staff last year to help save the state budget... I had to take twice as many days as my staff, and my caseload was bigger and more difficult cases, because bone head bureaucrats find it easier to claim supervisors are overpaid and do nothing but sit around and drink coffee.
They never even bothered to look at our caseloads.. you are called supervisor.. you get twice as much loss.
There is NO WAY Boehner and the rinos will be able to do anything with the debt ceiling limit. They will get a few token "cuts" like they did this time in the 2012 budget. If your child asked for help with a debt they could not pay, you would "raise" their debt ceiling to help them pay their bills ONLY if they cut up their credit cards (NO more debt) AND insisted they set up a payment plan to pay their bills.. WHY CANT WE DO THAT WITH OUR GOVERNMENT?
The only solution is to replace ALL of the Rinos in the next election. I guarantee you the tea party will be primaring all of them. The tea party is not going to take this from the rinos. That is why I predicted on this forum that Boehner will be forced to resign and I stick with that prediction. He is going to completely blow the debt ceiling debate completely.. Obama and the dems are going to give NOTHING of substance and Boeher will be toast.
