Remember last year when the House GOP was thinking that blocking the debt ceiling was going to be one of the ways that they could get Obama to cave in to their demands?
Apparently, they are prepared to do so again this year. Lindsey Graham has even stated publicly that the GOP needs to "keep their powder dry" for the debt ceiling fight.
But quick question......................does anyone remember what happened last time that they tried to block raising the debt ceiling? That's right............the groups that figure out the credit ratings of various countries downgraded the credit rating of the United States. Why? They said it was because of the uncertainty in Congress, as well as all the blocking that was being done by the GOP.
I've got news for you..................the reason the debt ceiling needs to be raised is because it's money CONGRESS HAS ALREADY VOTED INTO LAW AND HAS ALREADY BEEN SPENT!!!!!
Regular Americans can't get away with not paying their credit card bills, so why can Congress?
If they block the debt ceiling again, we could see yet another credit downgrade of this country, and it will all be caused by the GOP.
you should expect another downgrade if they do that.
but that's what they want.
then the nutters can say its the president's fault.
which is really kind of funny.
what's more amazing is that they never said boo when shrub ran up our debt to the tune of 5 trillion plus...
Then congress should have never passed the spending bill. If we can't afford it, why pass it? Do you not have a limit on your credit cards? I do.
