Shutdown payoff?

i'm sorry the loonies in the House really need to have their heads examined. One of them said we are saving money from the shut down and it will be no problem to pay the bond holders if we default. i doubt he even comprehends how reprehensible that remark is. Eight Hundred Thousand people, Eiiiggghhhttt Hundred Thhhooouuuusssaaannnddd are sitting at home so he can play with their lives and income. The party of personal responsibility has gone off the rails actually causing Eight Hundred Thousand people their jobs.

The G-d d-mn Taliban are even referring to the House as blood suckers...taking money from their own people. Don't the Republicans understand that they are destroying any sense of democracy by holding our government hostage? Or are they doing this because a shutdown and default will eventually put dollars into their pockets?

Consider this...interest rates have been down for years but you want a safe investment. Maybe you have a million or some billions you would like to stash in treasury securities but the interest rates have been so low you can't make any money off it. You finance think tanks etc., Tea Party maybe, donate to right wing politicians and hooooo boy those people you are encouraging and paying off to hold fast have forced the government into a default. From what i understand interest rates would rise maybe from 2% to 4%,6%,8% because the gov't failed to pay its creditors? Who stands to gain here? The nation or the 1% pouring money into their "representatives"? 

i read on Politico this morning that the Koch's have donated $500,000 to Heritage Action a group warning Republicans that this is about Obamacare...ha! While an article just below it says the Kochs are neutral...ha!

Forcing a default means everything suffers, military, intelligence services, medicare, medicaid, social security and on and on. Tom Coburn(R) says at worst the default will be a “managed catastrophe” ala Shock Doctrine if any of you have ever read that book. But who gains...because there has to be a reason behind it forcing us into default and there has to be money to be made somewhere...follow the money they always say.

After the default when your house value goes down...who is going to start scooping up the properties at the fire sales? How many more people are going to be out of jobs? How many elders will lose more of their retirement funds, their houses they can't afford? Who exactly gains from forcing a default?

Psychologically the dollar has international value as a stable currency but with our lack of any manufacturing base and a default on top....the R's are going trash that golden egg, interest rates will have to rise and who stands to gain? Its pure madness i tell ya because the entire nation will suffer while only the extremely wealthy will walk away unscathed.

Hey Boehner...President Obama got 65 million votes from all around the country and he wants a clean bill...you only got 246,000 in your state who's representing here? i think the President represents the nation...not you...so stop saying the American people want you to force this shut down because i do not believe you, nor does the rest of the country and we don't want to live through the mess you will cause.

Put a clean bill up for a vote.

See ya next week
