Geithner asks Congress for higher U.S. debt limit

It seems sometime this fall that the statuary debt limit of 12.1 trillion dollars is going to be hit. Meaning we are 12.1 TRILLION dollars in the hole as a country in addition to what we owe as individuals and corporations. I have an idea....NO FUCKING WAY!!!!! If you can't learn to get along with a 12.1 trillion credit line then maybe, just maybe, you should cut up cards just like Suzie Orman would say to do.

After you do this, come back to me and ask for another trillion or so....

1) Audit the Federal Reserve, Hey when I've been tapped looking in the sofa or the floor of my car is usually good for a couple of bucks maybe they could squeeze a couple hundred billion out of existing Fed expenditures.

2)Hit up Medicare for a couple of hundred billion, some austerity might do them good it seems like the VA is gets better deals... why is that?



3) Scrap the mission to mars and the new space shuttle, I'm sure were spending more than the russians getting crap up to the space station. Are rockets not cool enough for us?

4) Get rid of the marines, that would be like 15-20% of our defense budget and it seems everything they do (with the exception of guarding embassies) is redundant.

5) Nationalize Haliburton, they seem to be a branch of the government, why not make so that way they can quit gauging us for obscene profits.

6) Get rid of the post office, do I really need to explain this one...

7) Sell Amtrak.

8) Fire those Homeland Security freaks at the airport and let's go back to good old fashion racial profile, hey it works for El Al.

I could literally go on forever but you get the point, call your congress and tell him to vote no. Get outraged when the limit is raised anyway and crack another beer...
