Your not the scorekeeper, bitch. You constantly come off like some pencil-necked, third-rate boxer that throws a few punches in the first round, then picks up the mic to declare himself the winner. "That kid just got pwned"



I've never thought of Lou from the boxing perspective. I look at him like there's a decent party going on, everyone's milling around laughing about this and that. Then, there's this one guy who's drank wayyy too much, way too early. With both fists raised over his head and spilling beer all over the place, he staggers up to people, "I fUckIng rUle!! i fUckIng rUle!!". At first, they laugh at their own confusion. But as he persists, people just kind of peel off wondering what the hell is wrong with that guy...

You are 100% correct Alex. The problem is the US government seems to suffer the same fiscal delusions as the majority of Americans. In the end you will be paying for all of this mess too in the form of taxes.



If the eventual resolution is only a tax hike, I'd be elated. The way things are headed, China just buys our government's debt because if we sink, they've got nobody to sell their goods to. In the end, with the globalization mega-trend, China eventually will be able to find other countries that are better investments and they just exercise their discretion, devaluing our currency. The poor sobs trying to make a go of it in America when that starts happening are gonna be screwed.

You say I'm a boxer and I throw a few punches. Then I'm handed a mic and I say my piece?.



Lou, how did you manage to mis-read what he said? He never said you were handed the mic. You just took it because you're an imbecile.
