1. By far the best thing about the current Congress. We don't want them adding more laws.
2. All US government is unpopular at this point.
3. So polarized yet they agree on doing all the same stuff that screws us over...hence number 2.
4. So instead of working to be responsible and paying our debts, we should increase them? Way to show the world how to do things. Run up debt, it's OK. And when you max out, just borrow more. It's OK.
5. That credit rating should have been dropped years ago. Many years ago. As soon it it became apparent that the US could never repay its obligations. We should consider ourselves damn lucky we've had that rating as long as we have. And it's largely because everybody sucks at paying debts just as bad or worse.
6. The SuperCommittee. Not sure Congress could have come up with a dumber and more Constitutionally benighted idea if they were paid to...oh wait.
7. Repeal. The problem is they didn't stop with the Affordable Care Act. So much they could repeal to benefit the US and they failed to grasp the opportunity of the repeal mindset while they had the chance. Such a rare opportunity wasted.
8. Congress and budget...that's how many jokes get started.
9. This is kind of a good thing. This is part of how we learn to manage that budget. If we can't repeal the appropriation, don't pay for it.
10. Also a good thing. As prices fluctuate for global oil and infrastructure costs, best not to get fixed on current prices. Also works to help reign in the budget more. It may sound bad that we can't pay for a few things now but if we keep spending like there's no tomorrow, there eventually won't be a tomorrow.
11. I don't know much on this one but it sounds like bad economic management to trade a $16.5 million cut with a $350 million loss. It's good to look for cuts but do it smart.
12. Don't get me started on the Fed. We need it like James Holmes needs another bullet clip. They are the enabler of our woes. Sure, you blame the crack addict for getting addicted but the supplier is just as responsible.
13. I don't disagree with them. It is one of the worst but that's like saying it's the worst player on an 0-16 Football team. Doesn't really matter as Congress has sucked for decades.
14. They are part of the problem to begin with. We can't expect them to solve themselves.
