When do you expect the U.S. Congress announce they cannot pay the bills?

Question

More taxes will not work. You cannot get blood out of a turnip.

Answer 1

when the pirates win a world series  

Answer 2

When the printing presses at the mint run out of paper and ink.

Answer 3

Never. They'll just impose more taxes. That's how government works.

Answer 4

THEY DID IT ONCE BEFORE WHEN NEWT GINGRICH AND THE 'CONTRACT FOR AMERICA'  CLOSED THE GOVERNMENT. THIS TIME IT COULD BE DONE, IN A MORE SERIOUS AND FATAL MANNER, WHEN THE COMMUNIST CHINESE PRESENT US OUR IOUS AND DEMAND PAYMENT NOW. THAT WOULD BE THE COLLAPSE OF THE WORLD'S ECONOMY. OUR OWN ECONOMY IS ON THE TEETERING EDGE; THIS WOULD BE PERMANENT. WE WOULD HAVE TO PRINT MONEY BY THE CARLOAD LIKE THE GERMANY YOU SEE IN 1930s PICTURES. AND YOU DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT OUR COMMUNIST BRETHREN WANT.

Answer 5

Next January after the elections.  No matter who gets elected they are going to say that "things are worse than they thought" and they are going to have to cut services and increase taxes.

They already "almost" said it this year.  They just couldn't cut the gasoline tax this summer because "they" couldn't afford the "cost" of the tax cuts.  Tax cuts don't "COST" spending does.
