"Poll: 99% Of Americans Against Raising The Debt Ceiling"

A meaningless number once you realize that the other 1% is represented by Goldman Sachs. And they DO want to raise the debt ceiling.
In fact, if they have their way we'll all soon be ROOFLESS.

The whores in CONgress areaddicted to deficit spending. This addiction is FAR worse than heroin, cocaine and/or nictine. You absolutely CANNOT expect an addict to cure himself. With the massive cuts in domestic/medicare etc spending to 'please the banks (IMF) we have the cheerleaders of war and destruction spewing fear and more fake threats to justify WAR expansion for oil (human rights in DC are merely platitudes with NO real meaning other than lying to sucker people into believing they actually care) I expect we will soon repeat the insurrections and shooting of US civilians as happened in the 1920's when vets marched for bonus pay that was promised then withheld. And our WW2 'heroes'- Patton, Ike were at the HEAD of putting down that insurrection. And with the 'immunities' granted to the BIGGEST psychopathic thieves (Paulson, Geithner,and the WHOLE neocon crowd government has sided with Wall street AGAINST the people. Oil and food speculation is what drives up costs with each and every 'disruption' to supply routes-real or imagined. Over a trillion on the fake 'terror wars' which obviously have been for oil as evidence proves- human rights are NOT in the US interest, hundreds of billions in tax breaks for big oil, RECORD oil company revenues. FUCK CONgress, cut their pay 10%, cut their benefits (staff, per deim, gov't cars and FORCE the into the TSA/DHS rape and fondle, FORCE their pensions INTO Social Security so they actually have a vested interest instead of a looting target and enact a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for lies/theft where job, benefits are lost and just maybe we will get a CONGRESS who cares about the people instead of looking how to milk them dry for frivilous, fake, industry initiated wars that have no REAL bearing on National Security. Remember Bin Laden WAS a CIA asset receiving money, instructions and help right up to 9/11 including a 5 million dollar cash payment in May 2001 by Bush himself.

This poll is stupid and the question is poorly framed. The problem is the intrinsically-evil nature of our monetary system, not too much debt. If we do NOT incur more debt, the nation will not continue to function -- unless we CHANGE our monetary system. It is NOT about more or less debt, but about ending the Fed -- NOW. Our 'money' IS debt, so if we eliminate the debt, there is no more money in circulation. As things stand, even if our debt was ONE Fed dollar, we could not pay it back. Cut the bull and get to the heart of the matter -- the Fed must die, or the US will.

There is more than enough money to run this country. All we need to do is cut out all the Fraud & Waste we have today. Crap, goverment in Washington is'ent evan needed. Thats why each state has its own goverment. 1000 people could run anything the fed. goverment needs to do to protect us.

The state goverment will see to it the Fed. goverment gets what it needs. Clean all the crap out of the Washington Toilet, and the water will be clear............................we dont need more money. We do need to spend what we have on bills we realy owe..............

......"Shit" thAre I go again, Thinking ?

[Hyperinlation on the horizon]

USA is in trouble!

Raise the debt limit and extend QE2 to QE3 and face hyperinflation in the medium short term

or

Don't raise the debt limit and face instantaneous hyperinflation

here's looking at $25,000 for a load of bread, $50,000 a gallon of gas and $50,000 a gallon of milk

the only way to delay or avoid hyperinflation is the current system of zero checks and balances.
