When a party that has the White House and a majority in both the Senate and House try to paint the minority party as obstructionists, what they're really saying is that their party is impotent.

When I was in elementary with repetitive unnecessary homework, if we could do the first 10 questions before the end of class and get 'm all right - we got to skip the next 40.

Because government wields the monopoly of violence. Those who hold the sole overall use of force should not also wield the use of the market.

There is no confusion here. The simple truth of the matter is that the government can easily extend the debt it owes to itself. There's little pressure on the other side for immediate access to funds.
