Good deal, GZ! I think you made a good play.
The United States government and its puppetmasters in the central bank have really backed the nation into a corner, while they all laugh all the way to bank. Checkmate!
There is so much corruption, debt, fraud, waste, and abuse that the government can do absolutely nothing but shutdown hard. The government as an institution is broke literally trillions of times over, while those fraudulently running the government are wealthy beyond imagination!
Likewise, the central bank can do nothing but print more paper and buy more stocks and bonds with the absolutely worthless fiat currency that Helicopter Ben $hits out!
The nation is screwed to death no matter what they do. The crooks and traitors in Congress, in the White House, on the SCOTUS, on Federal Court benches, and in the central bank have robbed the nation blind and given themselves and their friends the enormous loot, stolen from taxpayers. During the entire time of this decades-long robbery, they have relentlessly given the taxpayers below tons of other societal problems to keep us constantly preoccupied while they robbed us.
I'm sure we'll see President N----r and his affirmative action family racing out on their latest multi-million clownbuck vacation during the crisis; all smiles and laughs as usual as he enjoys his personal reparations! -ng-
First U.S. Shutdown in 17 Years Imminent With No Talks
bloomberg.com
excerpt:
The U.S. government stands poised for its first partial shutdown in 17 years at midnight tonight, after a weekend with no signs of negotiations or compromise from either the House or Senate to avert it.
Republicans and Democrats in Congress say they don’t want to close the government, though neither side is budging from their positions to avoid it. House Republicans, led by Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, want to delay President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act for a year and make other changes to the health-care law. Democrats vow not to let that happen.
Hanging in the balance are 800,000 federal workers who would be sent home tomorrow if Congress fails to pass a stopgap spending bill before funding expires tonight. Standard & Poor’s 500 Index futures slid and Asian stocks retreated on concern of a shutdown, while Treasuries advanced.
“I’m afraid, based on what Speaker Boehner has said so far, that we are going to look at a shutdown,” Representative Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, said today on Bloomberg Television.
The fallout would be far-reaching: national parks and Internal Revenue Service call centers probably would close. Those wanting to renew passports would have to wait and the backlog of veterans’ disability claims could increase. |
