Special Market Update: Oh Hell No
So apparently there’s not going to be a market come Tuesday unless someone comes up with a better idea than Cut, Cap and Balance. No sweat. We’ve got plenty.
1. Move the production of boring entitlement debt out of state so we can focus on fancy boutique debt.
2. Fix a hernia with a butter knife. What? Apparently it works for some people.
3. Stay with us here: Create an engaged, invested electorate informed by a robust, independent journalistic sector. Then take all the money devious assholes spend trying to get elected or unelected or impeached. And then just kinda see where we’re at.
4. Wait . . . isn’t our debt ceiling really just Canada’s debt floor?
5. Six words: Harry Potter and the Pernicious Deficit.
6. Create an exciting new Debt Tablet. The rich will tax themselves!
7. Tie the debt ceiling to John Boehner’s blood pressure.
8. Stop, Drop and Roll.
