Boehner: Failing To Raise The Debt Limit Puts Economy In Great Jeopardy

[CrusaderFrank]

Obama and not the debt ceiling is what's imperiling America's finances

 

[Wry Catcher]

Con, do you think we got broke over the policies of the last two years?

It got worse under Barry's failed leadership, Autozona the fuckstain... Wake up... History didn't stop when your the object of your whack-off fantasies took office... At least the 0bama admin staff got sweetheart raises while Rome burns...

Fucking idiot...

Educate yourself and find that if we go back to bush era policies, we will go into a depression. Obama did what he had to do save this fucking country, due to bush's policies. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW CLOSE WE WERE TO A DEPRESSION?

Tell the class how much better people are because of your hero's policies... How unemployment has dropped significantly and ereyone who wants a job can find one.. Tell the class how easy it is to sell your house and how good it is for us to be fighting the Lybians...

Boner is bush. He really is. He has dont NOTHING towards job creation. Nothing!

0bama is Carter - only worse...

You assholes kept saying "Give 0bama some time" 2 and a half years into his Epic Failure, but sound the alarm after only 6 months of a R controlled House while ignoring the fact the the democratics shoot down any plan in the democratic controlles Senate...

Keep it coming Autozona....

Most people know that Obama took the oath of office in January 2009 and the budget for all of '09 was one signed by Bush. It's also common knowledge that the House under R leadership since January 2011 has spent weeks in recess and has produced zero bills focused on jobs; in their 6 months of control they were focused on a social conservative agenda and naming public buildings.

Today the House has one goal only, to inject fear into the population because of the massive public debt, a problem of decades duration and one which required the Republican Congress to raise the debt ceiling seven times during the Bush II Administration. Most people know the economic crisis peaked in October 2008, a full three months before Obama took the oath of office.

Boehner: Failing To Raise The Debt Limit Puts Economy In Great Jeopardy | TPMDC

In a political role reversal Friday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) warned that Congress risks severely harming the economy and exacerbating the unemployment crisis if it fails to raise the national debt ceiling in the next four weeks.

"While some think we can go past August 2nd, I frankly think it puts us in an awful lot of jeopardy, and puts our economy in jeopardy, risking even more jobs," Boehner told reporters at his weekly Capitol briefing.

His statement comes as a quiet rebuke to members of his own party who've argued that smacking against the ceiling -- or even defaulting briefly on the debt -- poses no great risk to the economy.

Interesting that he makes these comments now. Thoughts USMB?

Most of that same group also thought we were not going to have a recession.
I do not think they know their anus from an excavation.

 

[BolshevikHunter]

Seems as though he is admitting the facts that we cannot stop the spending fast enough. And we must stop the spending......

I am sure you said this when you found out how much we were spending on Iraq, righty? If not, why suddenly NOW is the time to stop the spending. Did you say a word of this during those horrible 8 years? Did you first say this the day after Obama took office because suddenly it became a problem?

Seriously. Think about what I just wrote.

Is that your solution you dumbfuck? Is your solution to the problem to just keep bringing up Bush this or Bush that all the while ignoring the facts that your hero Obama has already out spended Bush in 4 years compared to 8? Have you bumped your fucking head, or are you on dope? = Yes, by reading all your posts, that seems to be the case.

Your hero Obama is starting new wars in the middle east, got anything to say about that? = No, because you're a hypocritical spin artist that is off their meds, or on them with dope.

It's as if leftist morons like yourself actually believe that talking about the past will solve the problems of the future? Hey dummy? This just in, this isn't some filthy bad breath discussion between you and your fellow red diaper doper babies down at your local brothel or dope club. This is the real deal, and some of us have children to think about instead of just a few pot plants and wheat grass that we need to feed. ~BH

So is your contention that anything the 0bama admin did had no adverse effect on the economy from January 2009 to January 2011?

Seriously?

You're also saying our current problems are due to the inaction of the GOP in the 6 months theyve controlled one branch of the gubmint?

Seriously?

Today the House has one goal only, to inject fear into the population because of the massive public debt, a problem of decades duration and one which required the Republican Congress to raise the debt ceiling seven times during the Bush II Administration.

So the country's debt is nothing to fear, huh?

AND The 0bama admin is blameless, right?

Most people know that's bullshit....

 

[JimH52]

Boehner is just another self-serving politician....and I'm an 'r'. I hope Ohio bounces his ass the next time he's up for reelection.

I say to the young 'r's we put in last November..........STICK TO YOUR GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you are advocating default? Interesting...

The government defaults on us every day. It's called inflation. The way we are going, the US will default eventually. Our choices are drastically reduce government spending now, or default. Putting it off will only make the inevitable default an even more chaotic disaster. And the US has defaulted in the past. Obviously default is not desirable. But it isn't the end of the world as we know it, and we can't go on pretending like the problem does not exist.

 

[appleannie1]

it's coming down to the wire.

Do you think that means the GOP (or least the leadership) will accept the concessions that President Obama has offered up?

NO, their main goal is to take over the country and put us back in the pits like we were the last time they had complete control.

Yes, intelligent people that actually pay attention instead of listening to the bs on FOX do know that. We were on the edge of a depression when Obama took office. It was caused by deregulation of banks, a war that was not necessary and an economic policy geared toward making the rich richer and to hell with the masses. In other words, Obama took over a disaster. The stimulus that was needed was a lot higher than the stimulus that was granted. Then once the Tea Party got more than their toe in Congress and the Republicans took over the house absolutely NOTHING has been done excepty sound bites in the media for attention. How many jobs bills have been passed in the last year and a half? NONE Nothing except "Hey look at me".

What an insightful post. I see why the military forced you out.

Most people know that Obama took the oath of office in January 2009 and the budget for all of '09 was one signed by Bush.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, abbreviated ARRA (Pub.L. 111-5) and commonly referred to as the Stimulus or The Recovery Act, is an economic stimulus package enacted by the 111th United States Congress in February 2009.

You'll also keep in mind that Obama had $350 billion in TARP money to spend.

Your belief that Obama doesn't deserve the blame for spending in 2009 doesn't pass the laugh test.

Colossal fail.

You mean these are the good times?

Yes think about it. How terrible were those 8 years. The vast majority of that time we enjoyed 5% and less unemployment, When did everything start getting bad?

Why now? I don't know about everyone else but I'm awake and paying attention. I started questioning the spending in 07. And I know that we cannot sustain this level, I also understand that all the money from all the Billionaires in the USA will not pay off our debt. And I see that most liberals could care less.

I also understand that many Republicans are playing politics with the debt. My vote will go to the people who are serious about cutting the deficit to zero. They will not be very popular, but they will get my vote.

 

[Rinata]

I thought I read this wrong. I don't get why he is doing this now. Very curious.

We still are on the edge. If the crisis peaked in Oct 08 why do we still have 9.2% unemployment today? And it wasn't caused by deregulation of the banks but over regulation forcing them to make sub-prime loans.

Did you know that the middle class was shrinking? And do you know that the poorer classes are also shrinking? Where are they going? Think about it....

Republicans control half of the Congress. Can't pass anything when the other half won't even vote on it. Now look at you....

So it's not the banks fault whatsoever for taking advantage of the deregulation but rather supposedly overregulation? Please clarify and tell me you believe that. I have quite the post in store for you if that is the case.

As I've been reading elsewhere and agree – it seems Boehner is responding to his corporate masters.

No, I'd say he's finally decided that he's the speaker, not Eric Cantor.

he knew it all along. or at least his economic advisors did.

Of course they know. What we've been witnessing for the last month is jockeying for position in front of the cameras. Don't forget every house member needs to get reelected next year.

 

[MaggieMae]

it's coming down to the wire.

Do you think that means the GOP (or least the leadership) will accept the concessions that President Obama has offered up?

Yes, the 'so-called' leadership will cave.....and woe on them. Many of us will be just as pissed off at them as we were the D's.

The House (who controls the $$) is controlled by Republicans...........they don't need to give a damn inch............

I have many credit cards that raise my 'limit' every year........do I run right out and spend it because I can??????????????? FUCK NO.

Its called responsibility.

I say, not only DO NOT RAISE THE CREDIT LIMIT, I say LOWER it (to at least Clinton years).....and let the chips fall where they may.

We're Americans.........we'll deal with it......

Get the damned fed out of our pockets and watch this country revive itself within a year.

Either Congress does it, or the President has the authority to tell the Treasury to raise the debt limit without them. Constitutionally, the country must not default on existing debt.

Article XIV-The Constitution
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
