Comes The Repo Man.

Alright, here's the deal. There is a significant minority on the left and and an equally significant minority on the right.  Thankfully there's a more significant group in congress who are sane. These last stand in the middle. They're willing to negotiate in order to save our economy. Unfortunately this group isn't large enough to enact any legislation. Therefore they must depend on either the staunch conservative block or the equally staunch progressive block. The problem is that as soon as the center starts to lean one way or the other, they start to loose members from the other side. In other words the conservative and progressive members of the center who are welling to give in a bit in order to save the economy aren't willing to completely capitulate. I should mention again that none of the groups or coalitions are large enough to win the day. So what do you care? When the time comes, and there is no compromise, the  good ole U.S. of A. will be forced to default on it's loan payments. So what do you care? Have you ever defaulted on your car payments? You Haven't? Well what happens if you default on your car payments is that you start to get more exercise by walking to work and the store and everywhere else you want to go. That is unless you live on a bus route. Now you may think that nobody would dare try to take away this country's car, or whatever. Well you may be right, but the chance of our being able to borrow any money from anyone might become questionable. Except maybe a loan shark or two. We'd be placed on a "cash only" basis. No foreign oil on credit. No Chinese toys except cash in advance. It would not be fun. And we and the whole world would likely spiral into a Greater Depression. Maybe a semi-permanent depression. I don't think these children should be allowed to play with matches. They could burn the whole place down, ya know.
