I've shown you where the Constitution grants Congress the power to borrow on the credit of the U.S.; and where it reads they have the power to pay the debts; and where the validity of the debt is unquestionable. That's Constitutional and the Congress cannot change that without amending the Constitution, which is what they would be doing by passing legislation in making debt illegal.Moans the rightard who's a couple of million brain cells too shy to understand the U.S. Constitution.
dear, please say exactly why you think I don't understand the constitution or admit to being a typical liberal who cant support what he says.
It couldn't be clearer AND it supports my position, but yet, you don't understand it. That is "exactly why I think you don't understand the Constitution."
Congress has the power of the purse. Via the Constitution. It has the power to say NO to more debt. Via the Constitution.
While it is true that we have the authority to go further into debt, smart people realize that continuing down that path is a Clear threat to the economic prosperity of our nation. It destroys the value of the dollar and forces us to pay interest on the debt to a tune of over 411 BILLION A YEAR for our stupidity.
