Today's Responsorial...




The debt of the U.S. government has increased by $2.678 trillion in the 2.5 years since House Speaker John Boehner (R.-Ohio) completed his first "deal" to put legislation increasing the debt limit through a Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

* DIE, BOEHNER, DIE...

On Aug. 2, 2011, President Barack Obama signed legislation, approved by the Boehner-led House, permitting the Treasury to increase the debt by $900 billion.

* DIE, BOEHNER, DIE...

Since then, the debt limit has been repeatedly suspended by legislation that needed to pass through the Republican-controlled House.

* DIE, BOEHNER, DIE...

Yesterday, the House once again passed legislation to suspend the debt limit — this time through March 15, 2015, which is after November’s mid-term congressional elections.

* DIE, BOEHNER, DIE...

This time, the House voted 221 to 201 (with 10 members not voting) to suspend the debt limit. The majority consisted of House Democrats plus 28 House Republicans - including Speaker John Boehner (R.-Ohio) and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R.-Va.).

* DIE, BOEHNER, DIE... DIE, CANTOR, DIE... DIE, BOEHNER-CANTOR ALLIES, DIE...

House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R.-Wis.) voted against suspending the debt limit.

* BECAUSE BOEHNER LET HIM! BECAUSE BOEHNER DIDN'T NEED HIS VOTE! BECAUSE BOEHNER AND RYAN BOTH FEEL THEY BENEFIT BY NOT TOTALLY DESTROYING EVERY LAST BIT OF RYAN "CRED" AS A TRUE FISCAL CONSERVATIVE! (WHICH HE'S NOT...!!!)

* DIE, BOEHNER, DIE! DIE, RYAN, DIE!

A bill cannot come to the House floor for a vote unless the majority leadership allows it.

* SO MUCH FOR "BOEHNER HAD NO CHOICE."

* FOLKS... BOEHNER HAS BEEN LYING TO YOU AND BACKSTABBING YOU SINCE HE TOOK THE GAVEL IN 2011!

* DIE, BOEHNER, DIE!

On Aug. 2, 2011, when the first debt increase allowed by the Boehner-led House was enacted...

* YEP! "ALLOWED" BY...

...the total debt of the federal government was $14,580,704,743,080.97, according to the U.S. Treasury. As of Feb. 10, 2014, the total debt was $17,258,793,918,103.22. That is an increase of $2,678,089,175,022.25 in the national debt in the two years and six months — or 2.5 years — that the nation has lived under debt limits moved through a Republican-controlled House of Representatives led by Speaker Boehner.

* DIE, BOEHNER, DIE... DIE, BOEHNER, DIE.. DIE, BOEHNER, DIE... DIE, BOEHNER, DIE...

So far, under Speaker Boehner’s debt-limit deals, the national debt has been increasing at a rate of $1,071,235,670,008.90 per year.

* DIE, BOEHNER, DIE... DIE, BOEHNER, DIE... DIE, BOEHNER, DIE... DIE, BOEHNER, DIE...

That works out to an average of approximately $9,315 in new federal debt per year for each of the approximately 115,006,000 households the Census Bureau estimates there are in the country.

Congress approved a massive increase in the federal debt Wednesday, with Republican leaders linking arms and jumping together to help Democrats...

* WE'VE ALREADY ADDRESSED BOEHNER AND THE HOUSE... NOW... THE SENATE...

* DIE, MCCONNELL, DIE...

In the key vote, senators backed the debt increase by a tally of 67-31 — but only after the GOP’s leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell, voted with Democrats.

* DIE, MCCONNELL, DIE...

* DIE, RINOs WHO VOTED WITH MCCONNELL AND THE DEMOCRATS, DIE...

The Senate vote was dramatic. Democrats appeared to be at least one vote shy of being able to overcome a GOP filibuster, and it wasn’t until Mr. McConnell voted in favor of it that it became clear the debt increase would pass.

(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)

After he voted, his top lieutenants, who had already voted against the debt increase, switched...

* SEE WHAT I MEAN, PEOPLE...??? DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN...?!?! THESE PEOPLE ARE SCUM... THE SCUM OF THE EARTH. THEY LIE, CHEAT, STEAL, DECEIVE... THEY HAVE NO PRINCIPLES, NO INTEGRITY, NO LOYALTY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...

* DIE, RINOs, DIE!

* DIE, RINOs, DIE!

* DIE, RINOs, DIE!

...and then went to other rank-and-file Republicans and asked them to switch too, trying to present a united front. “Alright, let’s go — come on down,” Sen. Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican who had earlier switched from “No” to “Yes,” told his colleagues on the floor.

* GEEZUS... WHAT A PIECE OF HUMAN GARBAGE...

But few of them followed their leaders, leaving the dozen Republicans who backed the debt increase on a precarious political ledge.

* I'LL GET YOU THE NAMES!

“This clean debt ceiling increase will grow nothing but the debt and will only make life harder for working Americans,” said Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, who voted against the increase.

Democrats looked on in amusement during the hour-long vote, which broke with usual Senate tradition in that the clerk didn’t read out the senators’ votes.

* WOW...

* FOLKS... JUST... WOW...

The increase lasts until the middle of March 2015.

* GEEZUS... FRIGGIN'... CHRIST...

There is no dollar amount attached to the debt.

(*SILENCE*)

Instead, it will be allowed to rise by as much as...

(*DRUM ROLL*)

...is needed...

(*STUNNED*)

(*SILENCE*)

...to cover obligations.

* SO THEY'VE GIVEN OBAMA - AND THEMSELVES - A NEW NO-LIMIT CREDIT CARD THAT WE AND OUR CHILDREN ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR.

* FOLKS... AT THE RISK OF ATTRACTING A VISIT FROM THE FBI OR HOMELAND SECURITY... AT THE RISK OF HAVING THIS BLOG SHUT DOWN... IF VIOLENCE ISN'T THE ANSWER - THEN WHAT IS...?

* FOLKS... THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH "DEMOCRACY"... THESE BASTARDS ARE CREATING DEBTS THAT AMERICANS NOT EVEN BORN WILL HAVE TO PAY... THAT AMERICANS BORN BUT NOT OF VOTING AGE WILL HAVE TO PAY... THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN INTERGENERATIONAL THEFT! HOW DO WE PROTECT OURSELVES... OUR CHILDREN... OUR GRANDCHILDREN...?!?!

Whatever the number is as of March 15 will become the new legal limit.

* THEY'RE LIKE JUNKIES ON A BINGE! (ONLY IT'S OUR BODY POLITIC THAT THEIR ADDICTION DAMAGES... AND IF UNCHECKED ULTIMATELY DESTROYS!)

As of Monday, the debt was $17.259 trillion.

It was $10.629 trillion when Mr. Obama was inaugurated.
