The question that keeps nagging at me is, WTF are those 9% thinking? Are there that many people making a living off of Congressional dysfunction.?

You do have to cough up the interest on that debt every year. Which is why, if we don't get it down before interest rates go up, we are totally fucked. (Thanks GOP, for fucking around with the full faith and credit of the USA. Fucking morons.)

And you can cure the bubonic plague easily (if you catch it early enough). Now that I think about it, Congress is kind of treatable in the early stages decline but only if people pay close attention to the symptoms. Otherwise you end up with necrotic government and endemic clusters of legislative assholes.

Don't get ahead of yourself, Soros. We're still a long way from a budget surplus.

Has anyone else gotten their bill for their proportional share of the national debt, yet?

Oh, wait...so it's not a real thing, just a conservative talking point with no basis in the real world? Whhaaaattt?

Hey Stevie, does that cited value include the amount that the crapping curtain climber gets to pay because you morons shut down the government, which cost $6 billion?

Asswipe.

In a somewhat related aside has anyone used one of those Squatty Potty things that I see advertised here on Wonkette? <a href="http://www.squattypotty.com/" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.squattypotty.com/">http://www.squattypotty.com... Not sure how helpful it might be (it's only $29.95 but is really just something to raise your feet while on the WC) but we oldsters are always reassured by proper bowel habits.

Also too Congress is as full of shit as a government mule.
