For a little Saturday morning
entertainment I bring you The Onion’s
take on the debt ceiling crisis. Here’s a sample:
What is
the debt ceiling?
The
debt ceiling is a specifically defined yet changeable clause in official
federal legislation that ensures that our country becomes embroiled in
maddening, childish theatrics every few months or years.
How
high is the debt ceiling now?
Just
like normal ceiling height.
When
will we hit the debt ceiling?
On
Thursday, Oct. 17 at precisely 5 p.m. Eastern time, when the nation’s $46
billion cable bill comes due.
What
happens if the government defaults on its debt?
The
United States will lose the credibility and respect we incorrectly assume other
nations still hold toward us.
