With one great big collective:
The know, we know the minute there is a TARP like run on the Stock-market the wealthiest will get everything they want, quite frankly the more panic the better.
The headlines will screech
OMFG WALL STREET STOCKS PLUMMET!!!
CRISIS LOOMS!!!
Then Hey Presto
"Debt Ceiling Raised"
Bipartisan Negotiations Stave Off Crisis.
Everyone pats themselves on the back and say "heck of a job"
We then receive the bill.
Call me cynical, but does anyone really see this not happening?
