Louis ‘a special kind of stupid’ Gohmert (R-TX) ‘GOP Moron of the Day’
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) isn’t sure whether he’ll support a debt limit deal, but he is sure of one thing: a debt default would be President Barack Obama’s fault.
A reporter for The Young Turks asked Gohmert whether he’d support a bill that would raise the debt ceiling at the Values Voter Summit on Friday.
“The word ‘deal’ concerns me,” he said. “If it’s good for America.”

When asked whether he would allow the government to default on its debt, Gohmert projected the responsibility for such circumstances onto Obama.
“NO,” he said, “that would be an IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE by the president.”

Social Security – Did you know?
***
Did I know?
YES I KNOW!
I also know, millionaire libertarian ass-holes like Ron Paul, who want to abolish Social Secuity, collect FULL Social Security.
Deficit Reduction? – Okay, implement a ‘means test’. Let’s say you make $500,000 a year, you will receive ZERO Social Security!

Joe Manchin (D-WV): Democrats May Consider ‘Nuclear Option’ (See GIF) On Debt Limit
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) suggested Sunday that some Senate Democrats may be willing to use what’s known as the “nuclear option” to eliminate the need for Republican support to pass a bill to raise the debt limit and end the government shutdown.
Responding to a comment made earlier by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who noted that Senate Democrats have “several somethings” to help them prevent a U.S. default, Manchin said, “I would assume that they might be referring to the so-called nuclear option, if you have to use that basically to keep this country from falling into default.”
The nuclear option refers to a Senate rules change that would require ONLY 51 votes to end debate and call a measure to a vote, preventing the possibility of a Republican filibuster.

personal thought:
WHAT A CONCEPT? a simple majority of 51 votes to call a measure to a vote.
Do it!
