OK Folks, what's gonna happen today?

[fadedrose]

I kinda wish they would default, scare everybody, and come back in two days with some tax cuts for the rich...but what will really happen I have no idea...

[driver8]

1. I have no idea, either...but I'll bet that SS and Medicare are on the table!!

I would put money on our fearless leaders caving...

[LonePirate]

2. Rank and file Democrats, liberals and progressives will get screwed. That is what will happen today.

[DJ13]

3. Nothing will happen

Sure the WH and the Senate Republicans (wheres our party?) will come to a grand compromise that will be all cuts on social programs and no tax increases, but it wont matter.... the House Tea Baggers wont see it as going far enough so it wont pass the House anyway.

4. We don't know.

Our crystal balls have been shattered by being kicked so often.

5. With any luck - nothing.

6. Whatever happens...

I'm sure America will continue to be safe and comfortable for corporations and the wealthy. Which is really the most important thing.

[The Wielding Truth]

7. That would be like... I won't pay any of my bills and see how much it will

hurt my credit score. That's a tool the Republicans would love to use to
dismantle our democracy. No thanks.

8. Mostly a lot of private arguments--leaders of both sides trying to

convince their people how wonderful the deal is.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

9. "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer." Seems to cover the likely outcome.

[DFW]

10. Nothing we'll like, anyway

Wanna bet?
