Manning contract and Washington

[urbarra]

Does anyone else find it suspicious that on the same day Manning agrees to a contract, our Government finally has a plan so we don't default on our debt?

I mean, or these two related or what? :blowtop:

Heh.

Heh.

One gives the Colts fans a chance to enjoy the success of a team.

The other gives the US citizens punishments for being successful at life.

Slightly different. And the "plan" isn't a plan to benefit anyone except the folks in Washington.

Default??? Heh....same scare tactics was used for TARP. Let it all burn down...we need to start anew

Not really. The first secured the future of the franchise. The other simply kicked the can down the road a little further, ensuring we'll have to deal with it later. The first, in the end, was negotiated by rational people who sought compromise and mutual benefit. The other was negotiated by idealogues who care only about their re-election and pandering to the extremes of their base.

Its all about greed.. in Washington that is. Heck, even Peyton Manning offered to take a paycut to save a team. I didn't see any senators in Washington offering to take a paycut to save us from more debt. ;)
