2 for one Quiznos and other randomness
Don't mind me - too much coffee not enough sleep and need to drink some water.
And still feeling Monday night's class.
But anyway 2 quizno's subs for $6, if anybody cares.
And per yesterday's thingie, Cricket looks promising for mifi.
And wow, today's a busy day.
(Also, I hear that the CBO pointed out that Boehner's plan doesn't save nearly so much as he says it will, and that yes, Reid's plan counts ending the wars as a huge savings, but so did Ryan's, and, well, if anybody cares below the cut is what I wrote to a friend re this whole insanity: Him: "As loud and pervasive as the debt ceiling stuff is here, I can only imagine it is deafening inside in the beltway bubble."

Quick reply re beltway bubble; more later
Deafening and terrifying. The economic impact will be wide ranging over time, but when 8/2 comes, if no agreement's been reached, my prediction is that 1) the debt interest will be paid 2) social security will be paid, and 3) we'll essentially have the government shutdown that we almost had in April until 3) the GOP heeds wall street's nosedive and stops the nonsense.
#3 will affect several milllion government employees and contractors, me included.
Thing is, 14th amendmnent protects the full faith and credit of the United States. So Obama can make sure to pay the creditors. Which may or may not protect our bond rating at this late date. What I'm not sure of is whether he can really toss the whole ceiling out - it's not constitutionally mandated, but it's much shakier ground.
