Maybe we should just eliminate social security payments. I don't really see old people and/or the
disabled rioting like they are in England.
I think everyone who hates the fact that the debt ceiling has been raised and dislikes President Obama
for it should actually vote for Presient Obama in the next election. Whoever is President in 2013 will
have to preside over another debt ceiling increase, and it would probably be better for those people if
it was President Obama doing it instead of the guy (sorry Bachmann, you're too nuts) they wanted to
vote for.
Oh for Pete's sake.
