U.S. Debt Cieling stays where it is.

Very Bad Policy

And I would say idiotic in addition to being acknowledged, finally, to being THE reason our government’s agencies do a poor job of managing our country’s needs.

Got to hand it to Michelle Malkin for reminding us of the infamy that these – people – have as they impacted our economy – beyond belief.

Having Joe Schoffstall walk around with a petition to ban conservative “hate sites” like Hot Air, Instapundit, Drudge Report – to name but a few.
