Anartaxius is just making too much damned sense for FFL! As for Jr., nobody cares about that shut down. It was so far removed from the lives of most ordinary people that they barely knew it happened. What people will remember is losing their insurance and having to go buy a more expensive replac

Mike, I believe the mainstream Republicans were angered by the antics of the Tea Party members. It's very likely that the electorate will not forget the government shutdown of October 2013. Most Americans blame the Tea Party members for causing the turmoil. It would not be likely that

The US depends WAY TOO MUCH on the health of Wall Street. Time to tax each transaction to pay off the national debt! On 02/05/2014 07:08 AM, Mike Dixon wrote: The last government shut down didn't bother me the slightest, didn't take in any of those open air parks or the Mt. Vernon turn around.

Mike, Are you willing to take risk that the government will be shut down again? If nothing is done, the stock market might tank despite its healthy growth in 2013. Are there any Tea Party members left after the political debacle last October?

It's a bargaining chip. What will you give up to get more money to pay your bills? When a junkie runs out of money, he has to sell some of his stuff to meet his fix. If Democrats run out of money to give freebies( buy your vote), why would anyone vote for them? On Monday, February 3, 2014 4:

Why does this question have to be raised again? Congress must act by this Friday. If not, the government must halt borrowing money to run its operations. http://news.yahoo.com/39-time-short-39-congress-raise-debt-limit-153822233.html http://news.yahoo.com/39-time-short-39-congress-raise-
