It just drones on and on. America is the bastion, the holiest of holies, the high temple of CAPITALISM. Capitalism depends on paying your debts. I mean, whats the point, how can you possibly run a capitalist economy if people don't pay their debts? And here is America, prepared to become a deadbeat debtor. Why? Just politics. The usual. Republicans trying to embarrass Obama, trying to crash the economy so they can win in 2012. Just the usual again. The government trying to destroy the country it rules, in essence. Nothing wrong with that. ? Right ? I am being driven inevitably to the conclusion that this constitution does not work. As much as I have respected, loved, and treasured it, letting dimwits vote in reckless irresponsible a. holes like the teapot people guarantees failure. It guarantees the value of your life savings will plummet once the nation defaults. Yes, all those decades you worked and saved and invested so responsibly, shot to hell when prices quintuple or whatever they will do. They say, never watch either sausage or bills in congress being made, maybe this is just such a horrible, nauseating process, maybe it will all be ok. Gee I sure hope so. You pay your debts. Doing anything else is stealing, and nobody trusts you, only an idiot would loan you money. Why would China or Japan possibly keep their money here if we don't pay our debts?
And yet...the teapot people say no big deal, there will be plenty of money coming in in August to pay off the Chinese and Japanese investors, to pay social security and medicare, and military salaries. So...who's left. Just the contractors I guess, bridge maintainence, stuff like that. The last guy I knew who blew off paying his debts as a youth ended up paying over 13 % on his mortgage when he was lucky enough to get one.
I guess we will see what we shall see. I don't like this one bit, though.
