If they cave in, they deserve to lose in 2012. Not only POTUS but a bunch of seats in congress too.sjfcontrol wrote:If the GOP caves on the debt ceiling talks, and it's beginning to look likely, it may not make any difference who runs on the Republican side.
According to Steve Moore, if the debt ceiling is not raised, the US will have enough money to
1. pay the interest on the debt,
2. pay all social security, Medicare and Medicaid obligations,
3. pay all federal government salaries, including military salaries, and
4. have 7 billion dollars left over.
If they can't do a budget within the current debt ceiling, they need to lose their cushy government jobs.
