Rand Paul refers to being enslaved to debt and that the country cannot spend more than it takes in.

The only way that the country can service its debt, and we are scheduled to need to deal with it around March, is to legislatively raise the debt ceiling. Even very conservative Senators have recognized this but have voted to raise it.

This country has never defaulted on its debt.

But Rand Paul speaks in terms suggesting he might individually filibuster the act to raise the ceiling. If he does, when we hit midnight on that day, we will default.

And if that happens you can have all the gold coins and seeds you want from Glenn Beck. Won't help.

his dad, like gsvol, wants to abolish the fed. one tea party policy that is really ****ing stupid. No chance in hell we default. I'm not even sure that's legal. Isn't in California.

He is a Senator for God's sake - do you think he has a secret lair like Dr. Evil?

I don't know. He proclaims to be a true believer. If he follows through on the rhetoric, its a problem.

Reminds me to some degree of these people we have living in the Orlando area who insist that the federal government does not have the power to tax income. There's a whole community. Every time one gets sent to federal prison, 2 new ones pop up in their place, sending vaguely threatening and antagonistic stuff to the papers, judges, law enforcement officers, etc.

I'll ask again - how is one Senator that you are afraid of going to have any significant impact in the manner which you suggest?

He can take the floor at some point prior to the debt ceiling measure and not give it up until the day of reckoning passes....

I like Paul, mainly for his ability to drive lefists to the brink of suicide. A one man problem solving machine, says I.

Dude is working on something called the Alan Parsons Project.

Politics are cyclical...in about 10 years (if this board is still around) it will be LG gloating and the conservative masses will be gnashing their teeth and rending their clothes.
