Debt ceiling deadline: Stop fixating on October 17

Why are they still getting paid, or not in jail.
Very, very Pathetic congress–fire all GOP members if you have guts in 2014.
Rand Paul said that we can make a promise to pay all of our debts, and everything will be fine. As crazy as this might initially sound, I actually agree with that statement. Now, let's turn his statement into motion. Just how exactly would we make a formal promise to pay off all of our debts?
How do you go about doing that? Have we ever done it before in the past? Yes, we have. It's called raising the debt ceilnig.
Hay all u dumb founded people entitlements are what we all pay for.
