Only problem here is that corporations want the status quo. They want the government to maintain its spending and continuous debt ceiling increases. They hate the shutdown. If anything, he's pissing off the corporations, not aiding them.

Such a stupid strategy though.

But then again, that's all they have left after the Senate rejected the repeal / defund Obamacare bills the house passed. Over 40 times....

Remember in school there was always a kid, we'll call him Kid A, who would antagonize Kid B very discretely and very quietly, until eventually Kid B would stand up and start yelling? After he started yelling everyone would look at Kid B like he was crazy because no one noticed Kid A fucking with him.

Kid A = Democrats
Kid B = Republicans

Yeah, because it's the GOP who are the victims in all of this.

Poor, poor Republicans.

No, the American people are the victims in this because it takes theatrics to actually get politicians to come to the table to try to balance the budget whether it is by cutting spending or raising taxes. We're in massive debt here and it's going to be me and my children who get stuck paying the debt these assholes have rung up to enrich their friends. Why is the Fed currently printing $85BN a month? To pump up stock prices so their Wall Street buddies can make good on their losses from the crash five years ago. I dunno how you can think asking for a balanced budget is some terrible thing worthy of scorn. Oh, because you support Team Blue from afar without actually putting any thought into the issues, I forgot.

Reagan raised the debt ceiling 17 times. Did you forget that too?

If your kids inherit your taste for desserts you should probably sign them up for Obamacare now

Why do you keep trying to pin this on the Democraps?
The Republicans want the budget in deficit and to continue spending like mad at least as much, probably more so as it benefits all their sponsors more than it does the average grass-roots Democrat supporter.
The Republitards just want to be seen passing the blame to the Democrats, so they can claim to be the party of 'fiscal conservatism' when they're the exact opposite.

Lets post this again

And this.

Since the cold war ended the Republitards have been the party of loony spending and deficit increase.

I don't like Reagan. I'm not a Republican, I'm a fiscal conservative, and for once a party is representing my beliefs, somewhat. If it were yhe Dems I'd be cheering them on instead.

The Republicans are simply posturing to placate the Tea Party rabble, they aren't representing anything.

Sigh, because the other side gives zero fucks. Some concern is better than none. Dems would drive our economy into the ground if given free reign because they understand nothing beyond base appeals to emotional issues. Simple math, like balancing a budget, makes their eyes glaze over.

But its not real concern, if the Republicans regained power they would cut taxes, increase spending - mostly on the military - and increase borrowing - and they go into it with their eyes wide open and unglazed.
They have nil intention of balancing the budget, they never have.

They're burbling a bit to keep the Tea Party under control, nothing else.

I can't find my post on the bipolarity of US foreign policy, but should probably add:

Cuts funding to govt which crack down on Islamic extremists -Egypt.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-24470121

I think its time to recap:

Syria - We're helping Al Qaeda-aligned muslim extremists defeat an undemocratically-appointed military-backed strong-man.

Egypt - We're helping an undemocratically-appointed military-backed strong-man defeat Al Qaeda-aligned muslim extremists.
This is now bad, we're now punishing Egypt for an undemocratically-appointed military-backed strong-man attempting defeat Al Qaeda-aligned muslim extremists

Libya - We helped Al Qaeda-aligned muslim extremists defeat an undemocratically-appointed military-backed strong-man.

Afghanistan - We helped an undemocratically-appointed military-backed strong-man defeat Al Qaeda-aligned muslim extremists.

Iraq - We defeated a military-backed strong-man and put in place a govt which consists of muslim extremists.

Kuwait - We defeated an undemocratically-appointed military-backed strong-man to protect a family of undemocratically-appointed military-backed strong-men

I can see this all working out really well.
