The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

From the outside it was like a blame game, especially with the debt, say the otjers make debt, get voted on and create massive debt and crash/strain the market/economy until the otjers get back in to fix it somehow(you can't just pay back those kind of sums without oeople feeling it, so they must be onboard, which americans never seems to be).

Maybe it's gone so far something peoductive will come out of it (like people figuring out politics are important), but I'm not holding my breath.
