The phony debt ceiling crisis was, from beginning to end, a con. It was an elaborate and successful hoax in which the nation's first black president, the Democratic and Republican parties, Wall Street and corporate media all played indispensable parts. The object of the supposed “crisis” was to short circuit public opinion, existing law, democratic process and traditions of public oversight, in order to deal fatal blows to Medicaid, Medicare, social security, job growth and public expenditures for the common good. It worked. We've been conned.
President Barack Obama as First Actor in the Con
The key actor in the con was and is Barack Obama, leader of the Democratic party and president of the United States.

Despite the fact that we know they always lie and they always say the opposite of what is true, once again people BELIEVED them. Even here on ATS many totally bought their scaremongering and lies.
Their lie that it would be disastrous not to raise the debt ceiling did have some truth to it - but in their typical and heinous play on words, the full truth was it would be disastrous for their own evil agenda. And their fearmongering worked. In the few hours since it was passed they have already borrowed several more trillion dollars - which will be passed on to your children and grandchildren, whose future is now one of slavery under a fascist dictatorship.
I don't know if it's too late to reverse this unbridled, out of control evil, but don't you think we should try our damndest?

The only problem I have with this is "the nations first black president" its irrelevant what the color his skin is. You can be a crook on the inside regardless of your skin tone.

Does this mean that you will stop bashing the tea party folks that were fighting this raise of the debt ceiling as long and hard as possible? The Tea Party tried to tell people the truth ....

President Barack Obama’s administration has consistently overestimated the benefits of stimulus, by using an unrealistically high spending multiplier. According to this Keynesian logic, government expenditure is more than a free lunch. This idea, if correct, would be more brilliant than the creation of triple A paper out of garbage. In any event, the elimination of the temporary spending is now contractionary and, more importantly, the resulting expansion of public debt eventually requires higher taxes, retarding growth.

While I can understand that, we've had him as a president for the last 3 years. Ergo its kind of a moot point now. Just saying I guess....

Let's assume that your speculation is fact. How else would you softly let the public know that the government can't afford these entitlement programs? We just can't. They aren't sustainable.
So their are a few choices. Go broke and eventually just stop paying for the entitlements or end/reduce the programs or socialize the system.
It would appear they've decided to slowly reduce/end the programs while offering themselves as lightning rods to the public. A place to vent their anger. It's fun, just choose a side...republican or democrat and have your moment of hate.
Also, what evidence, or what makes you think that the people in control are evil? Are you assuming the worst? Is this theory based on anything at all? Anything other than your own fear and speculation?edit on 4-8-2011 by brianmg5 because: (no reason given)

Why do I consider them evil?
Total disregard for Human Life, for Animal Life, for Truth, for Mother Earth, for Peace, as evidenced by:
-Massive betrayal of trust of the people.
-Continual murder on a massive scale worldwide.
-Fake terrorist attacks
-Economic terrorism worldwide
-Destruction of the planet
-Dismantling of a relatively moral society
-Declaring war on the people of their own country
- Lies, lies and more lies
- Inciting hatred and dvisions in all societes across the world
- Massive appropriation of the world's resources and the wealth of the ordinary people
- Mass worldwide slavery
etc, etc, etc.
