Reply #41: I don't believe there will be a default because of the 14th. This is just manufacturing consent.

But these SOB's are going to get us to give up more and more. I'm sure you've seen this video:

Debt Political Theater Diverts Attention While Americans’ Wealth is Stolen -- Kucinich

And probably the one by George Carlin, about the owners will come for the social security, and we'll all agree to it. This is a game of attrition. They are trying to brainwash us into accepting having no legal protections for our environment, our people, no health care or social safety net. Just like China. That is the GOP model. I've argued with these goons before and that's what they've taught the Tea Party lemmings, that it's only way for them to get a job, etc.

What they don't tell the suckers is that it'll be for room and board if they're lucky. Of course, there are large segments of the population who aren't suffering as gravely nor as dependent on the proper action of the government to keep things in balance. They expect that they will be alright no matter what.

Anyway, go in peace there, we're on the same page, I think.
