WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Treasury has warned that the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling must be raised by Oct. 17th, to avoid a U.S. debt default. This warning has caused concerns amongst investors and citizens alike as most are unsure of their futures in this once great nation.

The Washington Times – by Wesley Pruden

The games politicians play: Barack Obama is having a lot of fun using the government shutdown to squeeze the public in imaginative ways. The point of the shutdown game is to see who can squeeze hardest, make the most pious speech and listen for the applause.

But, he added: “We can’t be vindictive. Because we have to be concerned about the actual people that are being hurt.”   Continue reading “Christie takes on Colorado GOP: ‘They’re hypocrites’”
