“Republicans and Democrats on the debt are like two drunks arguing over a bar bill on the Titanic”
“Congress is like 2 drunks arguing the bar bill on the Titanic” is a saying that has been printed on many images. The RMS Titanic passenger liner struck an iceberg and sank on April 15, 1912.

Wikipedia: Titanic
RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner operated by the White Star Line that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912, after striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died, making the sinking at the time the deadliest of a single ship in the West and the deadliest peacetime sinking of a superliner or cruise ship to date. With much public attention in the aftermath the disaster has since been the material of many artistic works and a founding material of the disaster film genre.

THAT SAYS IT: Jim Conner of Landrum isn’t sure who said it, but he’s nodding in agreement: “Witnessing the Republicans and the Democrats bicker over the U.S. debt is like watching two drunks argue over a bar bill on the Titanic.”
