Still no deal on the debt.

Doesn't look good. Obama gave even more, but the GOP seem to be firm on no taxes regardless. Seems to me the GOP wants the default.

I have friends that work construction projects for the government, many know they won't get paid on jobs or limited amounts.

The stupid politics will put us in a worse recession.

Aye, it is not a healthy process at this point. The way things are going we won't have to worry about enemies abroad bringing us to our knees -- Washington already has that part covered.

The two-party monolith has failed long ago. This current crisis should come as surprise to no one.

Comes as a bit of a surprise to me -- I'm emerging from the foggy illusion.

It's all or nothing for the GOP i guess.

I bet there is already a deal and at the last moment, it will "suddenly" be approved.

I see this as nothing but both sides playing their little games.
