The Republicans have no intention of bargaining with fellow Republican Barack Obama when it comes to the idiotic debt ceiling, but business interests are becoming pissed off:
A source who worked on the letter said privately that the missive is the tip of a much larger, behind-the-scenes lobbying effort to educate Members of Congress, particularly freshman Republicans, on the perils of not raising the debt limit. The chamber’s Bruce Josten and other top business lobbyists have been privately meeting with Members for months, the source added.
The source said the letter Tuesday has been in the works for a couple of weeks.
Chamber President Tom Donohue said in a statement announcing the letter that an “unprecedented default on the nation’s bills would have dire consequences for our economy, our markets, and Main Street Americans.”
We will soon find out who REALLY calls the shots: the Tea Party extremists or the U.S. Chamber of Horrors.

I am glad somebody had the guts to say a home is a lousy investment. Homes should NOT be seen as investments anyway but as places to live and to put roots in a community.
Many, many people were shut out of the housing market because of the mentality of a house being a giant credit card or something to get rich on.

Vast wasteland television show creator Sherwood Schwartz, 94, has died.
He created the sitcoms The Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island. Enough said.
