Yeah, I have takes on all three. I'll start with the debt ceiling:
Raise it. Congress makes the decision about what the debt will be when they pass a budget. If Republicans are serious about cutting the budget, cut the budget. Default isn't going to be an effective fig leaf. Also, it would still need be raised by quite a large amount even if they got their dream plan.
so, thats the answer? just raise it, no bills on cutting spending nothing, thats not a plan its a cop out...it took months of hemming and hawing to get a lousy 30 billion dollars remember that?
The dems are not serious about cutting anything but defense, been there done that, and sorry thats just lame trash and a cop out too.....they have zero and they are laid bare, everything is a scared cow; from cowboy poetry to entitlements.....they have no clothes.....thx for playing.
If you want to cut spending, pass bills to cut spending. The debt ceiling will have to be increased even under the most draconian Republican proposals though, so claiming cuts will save the day is utter nonsense.
Also, Democrats aren't serious about cutting anything other than defense? How do you explain Obama's proposal to cut almost 800 billion in non-defense discretionary spending over the next twelve years (defense spending would only be reduced by 400 billion over the same span)? Or further reducing the increase of cost per beneficiary in Medicare?
Also, when did you see Democrats pushing for major cuts in defense spending? There was a sizable reduction in defense spending at the end of the Cold War, but Republican opposition to those cuts were because they wanted to cut even more.
we will as part of the debt ceiling, they just took a vote for a clean bill and? what happedned jesus chrsit dude....
he suggested, as in put forth a framework in his beat ryan over the head speech , he stole from the gang of 6 how are noe defunct.......its all just more talk sorry but you sound like a sheep, lets see the plan, please.
I have not seen a budget, have you, can you link me to one please? His last plan which contained nothing of which you alluded, was voted down 0-97....hello.
The senate has not passed a budget for over 2 years......hello. its YOUR senate, the house put one out there.......well?
I posted again, for the 9th time now the cuts to defense when obama took over on another thread, sorry not doing it for the 10th time....
