Wall Street investors worry as lawmakers perform their Kabuki dance.

Aching fears as evidenced by elevated Credit Default Swap Spreads.

Shifting blame, the drama unfolds,

Hindered progress, as all parties point fingers at each other.

Intense disgust is in the air as we witness Washington's tangled dance .

Never working together for the American people.

Government's favorite game of chicken with

Tons of debt hanging in the balance.

Over 78 times, since 1960, we have raised the U.S. Debt Ceiling.

Negotiations are challenging yet hope for a compromise is in the air.
