Yeah, Nancy Pelosi worrying about the markets. That's a hot one.

If the markets jump down, it'll be because the President's political enablers are punishing the markets for disagreeing with the President.

Come on guys; you're not Libs too are you?

Pelosi claims being asked to Camp David is "beyond the pale" (her favorite phrase.)

Doesn't matter anyway since she is now completely irrelevant.

Didn't Nancy's spending (for years as Speaker) cause a bunch of this debt overload in the first place?

Just some of it. Pubs will pay for sitting on their hands. Happened in the '90's.

No, because your illogical, poorly punctuated, and poorly substantiated claim adds no value.

Why would I care? I didn't, and wouldn't, vote for either of them. Ever.

I'm not interested in pointing fingers, I'm interested in solutions and opportunities.

Exactly, catamount. At work, we solve problems without any ideological bent. We just try and find what will work, without calling each other names.

Warrenrial feels this problem started three years ago and didn't involve the American people. It started before he was born and involves all of us, so let's all of us work on this together and realize we will all have to share the pain.

Memo to Boehner and the rest of the GOP leadership: hang tough (someone slap Lindsey Graham so he'll stop crying)...you *can* win this thing if you show some courage.

When your standing on the edge of the cliff with no other way down, then you might have to climb down taking risks and ignoring OSHA rules.

Thanks to our voters being paid to vote, there is no other way to stop the spending. They and the rest of us will now have to take the punishment for their free ride over the last 20 years. We all deserve what is coming.

But, does it really have to come to that? Can't both parties get up the guts and spread the pain evenly? Can't both parties ignore the shrill cries from the far left and the far right? Can't both parties sit down and solve a problem, the same way we do at our jobs? Why can we reach a consensus? Because we fix things without rigid ideology. We will think outside those boxes, we ignore those boxes.
Let's face it, if the whole thing blows up, the pain 10% of us will feel will be a mere pinprick.

No, no, no and no. Why? Because socialists realize that if they get caught in an honest debate its over for them. Its only marketing that socialist's care about anything other than winning, power and money. They don't and you can't compromise with someone that does not care about anything other than winning, power, and money.

Unless you can prove that the socialists will lose power without compromise. What is happening right now is proving that the socialists have to adjust to the new realities or lose everything. Once they learn then we get back to a reasonable balance.

I guess we have to decide what you mean by "socialist". Someone who collects social security? Anyone who uses health-care they do not pay for? Anyone whose house is rebuilt by subsidized flood insurance? Anyone who depends on the FDA to make sure the pill they are giving their child is properly manufactured and tested?
What is a socialist program? Some are glaringly obvious, others are a matter of debate. You state that a solution can not be found, it can't politically.

The meaning of the term 'socialist' is very clear in spite of the fact that its not taught in public school or university. When you take my property (meaning money) without my consent for the good of the someone else, its socialism. Period. It does not matter how good it makes you feel to steal my money.
