Satan Sandwich with a Side of Satan Fries

I wish there were a way to punish (outside of voting) our Congressional "leaders," particularly the republicans, who turned raising the debt ceiling into a national nightmare, for the collective anxiety they caused our nation.
In an interview with ABC News' Diane Sawyer, Pelosi said she will "absolutely" vote yes on the compromise package, even though she agreed with one colleagues' characterization of it as a "Satan sandwich."

"It probably is – with some Satan fries on the side," Pelosi said.

Still, Pelosi said she's supporting it – and believes a sufficient number of House Democrats will follow suit – because the deal extends the debt limit for 18 months without any cuts to Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, and it establishes a balance of cuts between discretionary spending and defense.
