Quote of the Day

"This country now possesses the strongest credit in the world. The full consequence of a default--or even the serious prospect of default--by the United States are impossible to predict and awesome to contemplate….The risks, the costs, the disruptions, and the incalculable damage lead me to but one conclusion: the Senate must pass this legislation before the Congress adjourns." -- Rethug icon St. Ronnie of Hollywood, in a letter to the Senate in November, 1983.

Amazing how far to the right the current nihilist Rethugs have moved, even past St. Ronnie. They'd probably write him out of the party if he were alive today.
