Democrats and Republicans will have to actually sit next to each other in the same room, without wearing nose clips.
We will have to agree on a budget.
No one WANTS to do this, of course. It's very, very boring work. And as John Boehner said, 'It's so, so, so hard'. But we have to. If we don't, we will default on our loans, and (according to Stephen Colbert), China will pull a pickup truck up to the midwest and tow away Kansas. The question is, would we miss it?
I guess there are worse countries we could have taken out a loan from. How is it that the US is TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in debt, but remains to be one of the guiding world economies? It's unbe-f***ing-lievable! Greece isn't a hugely important piece of the world economy! Well, I guess it is, but only because there's so many riots going on over there, their yogurt curdled.
So, at the end of the day, we could end up in complete default. Which, apparently, would screw us all. But why is it that when BANKS default, THEY get 700 billion dollars? All COUNTRIES get is... well... nothing, apparently.
And the scariest part is that, if we DO default, no one really knows what China will do. They could ask for their money back. Yeah, that's right--- ALL OF IT. But China wouldn't do that, because the resulting cataclysm could destroy the world economy entirely. I mean, they wouldn't do that!
Eep.
We're screwed.
Bye!
