How Will Raising the Debt Ceiling Affect You?



Admit it, you fell asleep just watching that video huh? Yeah, me too. You wanna know how  the debt ceiling being raised would affect me? I'd get to go one fucking day without hearing about the goddamn debt ceiling.

Don't get me wrong, I understand this is a very important issue, its just hard to take it seriously when you're just drowning in talking heads and outrageous headlines left and right. Hey guys, update me when something actually changes, until then please, I'm begging you, cover something else. You're like the boys who cried wolf at this point, keep talking about this impending date of doom for the US economy and the deadline keeps moving back. It comes across as complete bullshit.

The coverage of this thing has gotten so outlandish, I'm frankly shocked that I haven't seen one of those hysterically stereotypical news cartoons from South Korea or Taiwan, or wherever those are from.
