It is now D day. It is now time to expose these guys and the detriment they are to the country. These guys can only be considered terrorists and they are attempting to hold the country hostage lest they get absolutely everything they want irrespective of the hurt it will cause on the middle class. As harsh as my words are, that is the modus operandi of terrorists.
Congress consistently brings the government to the edge of default before facing its responsibilities. This brinksmanship threatens the holders of government bonds and those who rely on social security and veterans benefits. The United States has a special responsibility to itself and the world to meet its obligations. It means we have a well earned reputation for reliability an creditability. Two things that set us apart from the rest of the world.
