"One thing about this whole "debt ceiling" mess... how on earth can it be good to take on more debt? Seriously, compare this to a normal family that is maxed out on every damn credit card. How can it be be good to get your credit line increased so you can spend more and more?"
Rob, it is not the same thing. I am amazed that many people don't really understand what is going on here. A fair comparison would be a family maxed out on every credit card and then choosing not to repay the debt with the knowing that their nonpayment is going to have dire consequences to many others. The money is already spent.
"Man, Obama truly is a one man economic wrecking ball!!"
When Obama took office, was the US debt free? If that was the case, then you might have a good argument. I mean honestly, other than devoted ignorance towards a particular political party, how can you attempt to blame the US's financial difficulties on one man? You sound like you are rooting for your favorite football team and claiming the rival team's QB is a bum.
