?Congress Continues Debate Over Whether Or Not Nation Should Be Economically Ruined?

Sometimes, only the Onion can properly explain events in Washington:

Members of the U.S. Congress reported Wednesday they were continuing to carefully debate the issue of whether or not they should allow the country to descend into a roiling economic meltdown of historically dire proportions. ?It is a question that, I think, is worthy of serious consideration: Should we take steps to avoid a crippling, decades-long depression that would lead to disastrous consequences on a worldwide scale? Or should we not do that?? asked House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), adding that arguments could be made for both sides, and that the debate over ensuring America?s financial solvency versus allowing the nation to default on its debt?which would torpedo stock markets, cause mortgage and interests rates to skyrocket, and decimate the value of the U.S. dollar?is ?certainly a conversation worth having.?
