I see you understand how our system works.
There will be many losers in this debt crisis. More than usual. Congress will be more error prone due to how swiftly this deal wil be struck. They will apologize later and blame the hardly thought out compromise on the time crunch "imposed" upon them. Pay to play or pay dearly for sitting it out.
The President and Congressmen are grand standing trying to position themselves for reelection. They also want money for same. Seems to be the worst display by them I've ever seen but I might be getting old and cranky. For the most part, I lost respect for them some time ago.
Good luck charging those windmills Mr. Don Quixote.
