I am so glad you started a Pit thread. I am sure someone else would have done the honor for you. You are a jackass. You are also among the most unpleasant, shrillest and least educated posters I have ever seen. Your understanding of international trade and economics is surpassed by my cat Paul, my two year old and my belly button lint. I am also ignorant of many things, but I choose not to post about them. Perhaps you should consider the same course of action. ---

The 14th Amendment bars defaults on public debt? And you bashers call yourselves smart? Sorry, **Shodan** , I can’t resist. I tried to resist, but I just can’t. **Le Jacquelope** , assuming that you have not followed through on your threat to put everybody on ignore, I would like to ask you why you think that the 14th Amendment, Section 4, would **not** bar default on public debt. It says explicitly that > [@](#): > > The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. Is that ambiguous? Really? So it is apparently your contention that some of us are dumb because we can read what is stated as plainly as can be, yet you expect us to swallow things that are quite clearly **not** written into the Constitution as rights that are protected by the same? But I have no idea what I’m talking about. Plain English? The law? Pshaw. What difference does the law make in the face of your beliefs? All they do is get in the way of the liberal train comin’ down the tracks whether we like it or not. [They certainly never stopped the prototypical “liberal”, as it were, which is where I presume you’re getting your ideas about abrogating debt from](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Clause_Cases). And yet, “conservatives” are the bad guys. You betcha. All Aboard! It’s funny that your position is right in line with that evil conservative, Barry Goldwater, who said > [@](#): > > I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue! There’s no irony there whatsoever. ---

> [@Airman\_Doors\_USAF](#): > > **Le Jacquelope** , assuming that you have not followed through on your threat to put everybody on ignore, A threat I never made. I never said I’d put EVERYONE on ignore. Can you show where I said that? As for the 14th Amendment forbidding defaulting on foreign debt … um… HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAA. Um, yeah. Congress, particularly the Republicans, could just refuse to authorize the raising of the debt limit and the printing of money to service it. [Please read](http://capitalgainsandgames.com/blog/bruce-bartlett/1787/debt-default-it-can-happen-here?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+CapitalGainsAndGames+(Capital+Gains+and+Games+-+Wall+Street,+Washington,+and+Everything+in+Between)). _sigh_ Can we now retire this nonsense please? > [@](#): > > All they do is get in the way of the liberal train comin’ down the tracks whether we like it or not. Huh? Defaulting on the debt has often been a [Conservative idea](http://www.forbes.com/2010/05/22/default-united-states-economy-opinions-columnists-john-tamny.html). Also look up Nobel Prize-winning economist James M. Buchanan and “The Ethics of Debt Default”. Oh God, I’ve been suckered in too far already. You just go with what you believe, ok? ---

I love that the level of discourse on a board about “fighting ignorance” has basically devolved into: “No, Liberals!” “No, Conservatives!” “Liberal” and “conservative” aren’t even antithetical, for fucks sake! ---

I am merely pointing out that you liberally [sic] litter your responses with allusions to masculinity and virility. Clearly impotence is something that preoccupies you on a subconscious level.

Never met a retired person yet who wanted “the system” to collapse - at least not until after they’re dead. I put my money into stuff that my family can survive with just fine if hell breaks loose. Plus I live nearby a few farmers that I’m friends with. My basic electricity needs are fairly well covered with solar panels no matter what goes down (although computers may not run so well in the long run, especially in the winter, and internet service may go _poof_). Plus, I’ve got people I can rely on in hard times. The fact is, much harder times are coming. You can debate whether one is right to look forward to it or not; meanwhile, I’m preparing. Besides, if this economic system continues to limp along for decades on end, it’ll collapse anyway… with even more drastic consequences. > [@](#): > > > [@Gyrate](#): > > > > Clearly impotence is something that preoccupies you on a subconscious level. > > Then again, maybe you really are a member of the Viagra set.
