@gop is willing to use debt ceiling as leverage to shut down obamacare - insane...

from http://www.businessinsider.com/debt-ceiling-government-shutdown-obamacare-gop-2013-8#ixzz2ciKX8zVF

"Reuters is reporting Thursday on a strategy that appears to be picking up steam within the Republican Party — moving on from threatening a potential government shutdown to using the debt ceiling as leverage to force action on the Affordable Care Act. 

There's not a lot new here from what GOP aides were discussing last week. But Reuters does report that an aide to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said the debt limit could be a "good leverage point" on Obamacare — the most candid on-the-record admission that the strategy is being discussed in a proposal to appeal to the more conservative members of the party that want Obamacare defunded."

  1. Despite me being a citizen of Canada, I think that Obamacare has to be shut down as soon as possible. There are many reasons for that, but the main one of course is that it leads to multiple losses from the financial point of view. Personal finance in many families will be shaken. You know, healthcare is already to expansive and one thought that people are already turning to immediate online cash stores to borrow required amount of money, makes me so angry. And I am afraid that the further, the worse!
