Please, shut it down!...........................from Rico

Let's see...failure to raise the debt limit is being cast as a failure.

- That's back asswards. The US has borrowed so very much money already because it is spending money it does not have, that it has to borrow even MORE money to cover the debt it has already buried itself in...creating additional debt.

Stopping the insane and wasteful spending is sane, and hardly a 'failure' in this context.

So, PLEASE shut the govermnt down. Stop the reckless spending, and stop a runaway government frm doing more of what it has no business doing in the first place.

- Putting a halt to things right NOW by choice will be a lot less painful than it will be when no more money can be borrowed and there is NO choice but to end it all.

The governments of Greece and Zimbabwe declined to comment.
