And continuing to suck loans off of China's big teats is patriotic? (combined with Obie not being able to deliver a budget his own party can pass?)

Get a freakin' life.....someplace else, please.

Seems to be your token response when you have no real rebuttal to what is going on, prove you an ass and you have no statement other than ad hominem.
Again, you have nothing to say but bullshit.

BM-55 stiffs his creditors........obviously.

No... I will read the text in the bill myself and not take what an opposing politician spews...

Personally.. I would pay the soldiers and the vets first in every case.. then the debt payment.. and when it came down to being out of money, the LAST things to be paid would be politician salaries and entitlements.. whoops, ran out of money, no welfare, no salary for senator X, no food stamps, etc...
