Really now? Do you know what another credit downgrade will do to this country's financial form?
We will not starve. We will not lose our land to military invasion. We will not become weak. The USA will be fine. Stop throwing a hissy fit.

Originally posted by BartsActually, I was incorrect. It's about nine days. The tax cuts are worth about $82 billion a year. The government costs $9.7 billion a day to run. That revenue is generated on a yearly basis.
Where did you get the 45 days from ? More specifically, in what time period is the money for the 45 days of running government earned by the tax increase ?

Originally posted by sasquatch672Stop your constant complaining about the budget deficit if you don't want to do anything about it. The major entitlements - Social Security and Medicare - at present hardly add to it at all.
