A Very Important Matter to Discuss

Hip-hip-hooray, the homosexuals in congress opened the government and abandoned their hopes to default on our debt. How courageous of them! They’re all heroes.

More importantly,  I want all of you to know that I’ve been drinking excessive quantities of coffee again, more so than early grey tea, believe it or not. Before you shame me with idle facts, such as: coffee is the preferred beverage of homeless men worldwide and how it dramatically lowers the dinstinguishability [sic] of the person in question. You must understand, my best returns were had during my most caffeinated moments. Ever since I switched to the earl grey, my returns softened and my will-power degradated. I rarely yelled at my underlings and I let people get away with murder.

Now that I’ve been drinking coffee again, I’ve been punching people in the face, threatening my neighbors with arson and crushing the market like a fat man atop a bag of twinkies. If I could mainline this stuff, I would. But I can’t, so I’ll settle for grotesquely large mugs of coffee, as black as the night, without sugar or effeminate creams. I accept my coffee like America likes its Presidents and criminals: decidedly black.

    And how do they intend to avoid ‘default’ on the debt? With more Deficit Spending. Aided and abetted by the Fed buying Treasuries and returning the interest to the gov’t. It’s either genius or the true kicking of the can on down the road.

    Spending is the real taxation on the American people. You don’t get something for nothing.

      If you have a deficit and do not have enough income to offset liabilities, you are in DEFAULT, whether it means on the debt or entitlements. Either way, your credit worthiness is impaired.

        Jeebus, Fly. Your comment is like accounting word salad. Gone bad. Toss it in the compost and try again when caffeinated.

      No, bud. The US avoids default on the debt by making all scheduled payments of interest and principal. The cash for those payments comes from newly issued debt, which the market is quite fond of.

      Spending is related to default avoidance only when that spending is for interest payments on the debt.

      While your comment is largely incoherent, I’m growing fond of the mobius strip logic employed by your final two sentences.

        Newly issued debt? What in the hell are you talking about son? The whole point is you cannot issue new debt being that you are over the debt ceiling; ergo, you are in default.

          Read the question I answered, not the one in your head.

          bud asked: “how do they intend to avoid ‘default’ on the debt?”

          The answer to that question is that they avoid default by issuing new debt, as I said.

          When they can’t issue new debt, they can’t avoid default.

          Hence, your “the whole point is you cannot issue new debt” is an answer to “why do we default if we hit the debt ceiling” not an answer to bud’s “how do they intend to avoid ‘default’ on the debt”.

          Ergo, you are in error.

    Finger Lakes Coffee Roaster has the best coffee, not sure if anyone near you sells it. Your last line was boldly written yet so true.

    Surgeon General Fly, I’m of the opinion that coffee is a good thing. I’ve been thinking of trying the Bulletproof Coffee. Being a man of unlimited resources and a taste for life’s finest, maybe this will appeal to you? http://www.bulletproofexec.com/how-to-make-your-coffee-bulletproof-and-your-morning-too/

    The followers of IBC have benefitted greatly from the policies of this administration.
    It is ironic that they complain so viscerally about it.

      The followers of iBC benefit from the advice offered on the site, which, by the way, was equally pristine under the previous administration.

    Apparently I was the only one dumb (i.e., drunk) enough to stay up to watch the fireworks tonight even though the result was predetermined and priced in. Y’all missed out on some serious cray-cray:

      That is the problem. Something snapped this time. The polarization will only grow. To think that this deal means anything for main street is a huge mistake. 1st inning of cray cray.

    I’m a coffee hound. Tried to become a tea man (not bagger or party and no homo) but the cafinization seems to have a higher vibration, a little harder to control. Coffee provides a lower toned and more solid boost.
