The debt ceiling vote is fast approaching/ the tea party's first test

[cleveramerican]

In a few short weeks congress will have to vote to raise the debt ceiling...again.
Its a vote nobody likes to make, but the sensible know they must pass it.
To allow the USA to default on its loans would have catastrophic results around the world.

Not to mention several million folks not getting their social security, or military pay checks.


will these newly elected members go along, like they should, or not?

It will be a huge test of their(the right-wing nut jobs) sincerity about fiscal concerns.

2. Well, if they don't extend

We'll know exactly who to blame when the market drops 2000-3000 points in one day.

3. We all know what the teabaggers are going to say...

"It's Obama's fault that we had to vote for this" Probably something about the Clenis, also.
