Since the Republicans took over the House of Representatives in 2011, they have repeatedly attempted to use the prospect of a government shutdown or a debt default as leverage. A shutdown would furlough close to a million federal workers and cut off essential services for millions more Americans, while a default on U.S. debt, even according to Speaker John Boehner, could devastate the global economy.

While the recent debate has focused on Obamacare, that is just the latest in a series of demands made by Republicans. The following is a list of things that have been, at various times, demanded by Republicans under threat of a government shutdown or default:
1. A balanced budget amendment [Link]
2. Approving Keystone XL [Link]
3. Eliminating funding for Planned Parenthood [Link]
4. Medicare privatization [Link]
5. Tax reform, as outlined by Paul Ryan [Link]
6. The REINS Act, which would require Congress to approve significant federal regulations [Link]
7. Means-testing Social Security [Link]
8. Defunding Obamacare [Link]
9. Allowing employers to eliminate insurance coverage for birth control [Link]
10. An expansion of off-shore drilling [Link]
who do you think is serious and who has another agenda or 21 agenda's under their table all the things they could not do they want to ram down our throats and then to add insult to injury they want the Pres. to deliver the death stroke to his premiere legislation,

who are the dumb asses that think that's going to happen, that alone shows this to be more about delivering the Coup De Grace to the Black guy that took them to the political shed twice with gravy stops along the way.  they are delusional and dangerous your future isn't just the date Nov. 4th 2014 it's all after it. recognize
