Bee you have impressive ideas.



Ladies and Gentlemen this issue far exceeds one nuclear treaty with Russia and all our NATO allies.

The 99% likelihood of complete Republican obstruction of the treaty, the debt ceiling, the budget and the financial reform we need to keep from falling to total default and bankruptcy is the most serious challenge this nation has seen since WW 2. There is a coming gun slinging showdown. There is a looming ultimate game of chicken.

I would compare the jeopardy we are in due to the obstructionist gamble by Republicans to the Apollo 13 mission.

My fellow Americans, We have a problem.

Only its not 3 crew members but the entire population and global economy with the exception of billionaires. It is like our entire country is an exploded spacecraft that is damaged so badly we may not survive. NASA had the advantage of everyone working together to solve the problems with a united effort. They had to make new parts and invent new methods of doing things including a manual burn for course corrections.

This nation has a house divided and will not stand for another 4 critical years of making the destruction of a Presidency more important than the survival of the nation at large. IS the greatest mission we have the destruction of a president to usher in a Republican president in 2012? Is a real default of the American dollar worth it?

The fight ahead will in itself drain critical power and air.
The demand of the Republicans (the 0 vote gang) is to keep billionaires from paying anymore taxes than they do now and to roll them back further over time. They see an opportunity to hold all issues hostage and diminish or abolish social security, Medicare, welfare and all other entitlements and environmental progress.

This real and coming political war and its consequences may include new presidential orders, government shutdown, loss of critical government workers and the fatal delay or entire loss of establishing a new debt ceiling leading to default resulting in a very real hyperinflation of the US dollar.

The FOX propaganda will claim that Obama is using virtual martial law and is trying to take over the country like Hitler. Social anguish, violence and demonstrations are in the offing. Some of the only tools to save us from a dreadful default collapse and the harm from extended government shut downs are presidential orders and in the extreme, the closing of Congress.



We have discussed many issues here from the terrorist attacks on our friends and citizens and the economic take over and the Supreme Court making corporations more alive and powerful than real people. We have discussed the economic take over by a tenth of one percent of Americans.
BUT this looming challenge will be the greatest standoff ever played and will lead to great harm for one or both sides, when only one side (the common good) could save our desperate Apollo 13 mission, the United States of America.

Wall St. has much to lose in this damaged mission. In the 11th hour they will certainly pressure their Republicans to stand down and hope that there is time to avoid global economic default. But once the game is started there are no guarantees that global anxiety and enemy opportunists will take the ball out of our hands as global fear and mob mentality rule that dark day of default.
