Obama Demands raise Debt Limit

[Rozman]

Yup.

Obama wanted ol' Bush to actually pay for the stuff he was buying.

Guess he was peeved about the whole "Paygo" thingie Bush got rid of..

It's kind of like the tea baggers getting rid of their provision that any bill passed through the house has to be paid for with cuts.

Because when they pass bills to cut ObamaCare..they can't justify the cost of doing that.

No, it just shows that he has increased the debt even more than Bush did.

By paying down the debt Bush ran up on the national credit card?


Yeah..buddy..

BOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooosh!

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Its not a threat you fucking moron. If the government can't borrow more social security obligations cannot be met - unless you'd prefer we discharge the military and abandon national defense instead.


Are you so fucking stupid that you don't realize social security benefits and veterans checks have to come from somewhere?

O voted against raising the debt limit in 2006.

That's called a protest vote. Dems never threatened to default or tried to blackmail Bush- that's called responsibility and maturity. You bought off heroes are ruining the economy for BULLSHYTTE.

Oh it is? http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/16/politics/16cnd-spend.html?_r=0

2006......memory refresher for ya, frankie: "The 52-to-48 vote, with all Democrats and a handful of Republicans voting "no," increased the debt limit by $781 billion. The increase was the fourth since President Bush took office, prompting Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic minority leader, to declare that "years of Republican mismanagement" have driven the nation deep into the red."

But O hasn't mismanaged us at all towards the tune of 7 trillion more in debt in only four years. I got it.

 

[Rozman]

Libs swear Obama hasn't added one penny to our national debt....

 

[Too Tall]

It's clear that the Republicans DO NOT WANT TO CUT SPENDING AT ALL!

They've been making political hay out of tinsy tiny tax increases and they've turned the routine duty of raising the debt limit into a total drama.

They've done everything they can to prevent any discussion of the federal budget and spending cuts!

The Obama administration has always been willing to negotiate a budget with severe spending cuts - he offered 4 trillion in cuts last year, but IT'S THE REPUBLICANS that NEVER seem to want to go there!

If the Republicans were serious about spending cuts and having a balanced budget, they would have approved the silly little 3% tax increase on the wealthiest, they would stop this debt ceiling nonsense and they would get onto the job of negotiating a BUDGET!

Anyone who believes that the Republicans really want spending cuts is a FOOL!

The only way a budget can be negotiated is for the Senate to pass one. Obama offering something in a speech is total bullshit.

The Democrat controlled Senate rejected Obama's 2011 and 2012 proposed budgets, 99-0 and 97-0.

The Republican controlled House has passed budgets with real spending cuts and Harry Reid does not allow the Senate to vote on them.

I know who the fool is.

And yet as a Senator Obama felt very different.

This is from a speech Obama made in 2006:

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.

Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion.That is “trillion” with a “T.” That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers. And over the next 5 years, between now and 2011, the President’s budget will increase the debt by almost another $3.5 trillion.

Numbers that large are sometimes hard to understand. Some people may wonder why they matter. Here is why: This year, the Federal Government will spend $220 billion on interest. That is more money to pay interest on our national debt than we’ll spend on Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. That is more money to pay interest on our debt this year than we will spend on education, homeland security, transportation, and veterans benefits combined. It is more money in one year than we are likely to spend to rebuild the devastated gulf coast in a way that honors the best of America.

And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the Federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on.

Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America’s priorities.

Obama demands quick action to raise debt limit | US National Headlines | Comcast

President Barack Obama demanded on Monday that lawmakers raise the nation's $16.4 trillion federal debt limit quickly, warning that "Social Security benefits and veterans' checks will be delayed" if they don't and cautioning Republicans not to insist on cuts to government spending in exchange.

"They will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the economy," he said at the 21st and final news conference of his first term. "The full faith and credit of the United States of America is not a bargaining chip. And they better decide quickly because time is running short."

Obama the dicator "Demands" , we should demand he quits threaten the American people and quit bankrupting this Country.Spend and borrow-Spend and borrow, We now borrow 4 billion a day just to keep the lights on, Pure Insanity !

Its not a threat you fucking moron. If the government can't borrow more social security obligations cannot be met - unless you'd prefer we discharge the military and abandon national defense instead.


Are you so fucking stupid that you don't realize social security benefits and veterans checks have to come from somewhere?

Obamaturd is the threat. He is so stupid he spends this country into the hole and demands we raise the debt limit to allow him to spend more. What an idiot.

 

[Rozman]

The deal was raise taxes generate income during fiscal cliff...
Now we get spending cuts....

Republicans don't pussy out this time,don't kick the can down the road.

Pooper is dumber than Obabble...neither have a clue or an inclination to lower the debt.

May-be OOppooper or his relatives are on SSI Disability,and he is worried that next check may not arrive unless we raise the debt limit a few more trillion.....

Raise the debt limit or I will stop your checks ................


Why does Obama like picking on Old people with canes?

 

[jknowgood]

Do you not understand that if he doesn't have the money to pay social security obligations - he can't pay them? Are you seriously this retarded?

He doesnt pay anything you fucking ideologue.

We do.

And we have the money to pay our debts...including SS.

But Obama prefers he take that money and buy new stuff....and BORROW money to pay our debts.

You think that is a good idea?

Actually Congress decided to spend the money. Try reading a fucking Constitution.

I didn't realize ss was around when the constitution was written. Why don't you go back to killing more sperm? Idiot.

 

[Nova78]

Obama gets real sensitive when they want to take his checkbook away.....

 

[jknowgood]

Okay, what needs to be demanded back at obama is, all salaries and benefits need to stop for congress, senate, and obama till they can cut spending. Instead of stopping ss or military payments, stop welfare recipients payments. Make them, according to their ability to work in the private sector for the same pay they recieve from goverment. It will only take a week or two for them to figure out it would be better to actually be on a payroll, than the goverment dol. I mean why threaten the people that have paid into the system, and actually earn their money, but not mention the people that get free money, free housing, and free food from cradle to grave?
