The folly of this debacle, which is looking more and more likely to end without repeal or delay of anything that sounds even remotely like the Affordable Care Act, will also go down in history as the last time anyone with nicotine instability disorder was allowed to captain the red team. It appears more and more likely that Boehner is going to offer a clean resolution to open the government, raise the debt ceiling, create breathing room, and then try this all again in about 30 to 45 days.
Circus.
Tyler Durden had this to say: "The House Republicans are apparently waiting to hear back from the White House on this latest proposal - which amounts to - our translation - "Ok, you can have your government re-opened, and we'll let you raise the debt ceiling... as long as you really really promise to talk about spending cuts at some point in the future maybe possible please.""
And in a final example for 10/11/13- Christmas spirit dies at White House as ornament-hawking gift shop goes broke
That's right, the president has even managed to bankrupt the White House gift shop. Seriously, either the traffic is way down, or theft is way up.
Either way, same administration.
Game on red and blue, and in case they read this - Fidelity, JP Morgan, and Blackrock are all betting you derail the train.
Peace
