And Sniper thinks I live in la-la land? If you don't think things are bad enough now and we don't have a deep dark enough hole to emerge from, I can promise you it will get much worse if we lose our AAA credit rating. But you're right that losing our AAA rating is not like losing our virginity. We've already lost $trillions when we crashed in 2008. It will be "fun" to lose $trillions more when we lose that AAA rating. Even if we lose our AAA rating, you're also right about the sun still coming up the next day. It always does. LOOK DUMBA$$, The whole REASON for losing the AAA rating is because we REFUSE to CUT SPENDING. I am perpetually AMAZED at how CLUELESS people like you are. We have PLENTY of money to make our interest payments. We won't quit spending MORE on new stuff. Quick, should we go back to pre 2001 spending levels for everything other than Interest payments, would we need more revenue? There's your answer in a nutshell.

The Bush tax cuts (I do believe it's been mentioned a couple of times by greekgod). Now who's really the clueless one?

I believe I have posted the revenues by taxation for the years involved on here. Tell you what, you agree to cut spending to 2001 revenues, I will agree to the Clinton tax code. We can play this game real easily..............

We can play this game real easily.............. The problem with your proposal is that it will lack repayments to the IOUs we accumulated through the 2000s (spending). We ought to be good for repayment of our debts and not default on our obligations.

He doesn't care if we default on our obligations. Sniper doesn't use social security, medicare, or medicaid so he doesn't want topay for them and would prefer that they are eliminated since his future is taken care of.

2001 spending levels? In 6 months after we do this again under the tea party plan we would be looking at 1950 level spending. How would that work out for your household cutting your grocery, utility payments, etc to 1950 levels?

This isn't going to happen. Do your homework. The Fix is in with Wall Street, although the threat to lower our rating from AAA to AA is still being bandied about.

I'm talking more about the tea party agenda of wanting to eliminate these programs.

Another update from Rand Paul- "We are now in the 14th hour of the Senate Majority Leader filibustering his own bill. You can't make this stuff up."

More from Rand- "Mr President: For many of us, raising the debt ceiling IS the compromise. To ask for trillions of dollars more in debt without a true plan to fix the problem is irresponsible. It is why Washington does not work. I will only support a compromise that ties the debt ceiling increase to passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment. That position is not only reasonable, it is also supported by nearly 75% of Americans."
