We could impeach Obama if we default

[ScreamingEagle]

the silver lining......

There's been so much malarkey meted out by the media about the budget C.R., the government shutdown, and the debt ceiling that the average American can easily lose sight of the real issue, which is the federal debt. Even certain honest, trusted members of the media trot out "default" as though it were synonymous with not raising the debt ceiling by Oct. 17.

Actually, default is not paying the interest/principle on what one has borrowed. Current federal revenue is way more than enough to easily pay what we owe on federal notes, bills, and bonds.

If the feds do indeed have enough revenue pouring in to meet their obligations, then actual default would be an act of volition, a decision by the president. The president would have to decide to squander the full faith and credit of the nation. Such an action would be an impeachable offense.

That would be interesting considering that the Constitution is very clear about what branch of government holds the purse strings.....and which house REALLY holds the purse strings.

the House is more than willing to fund our debt payments...

 

[Moonglow]

then fund them GOP members and stop trying to not fund the US.

 

[Hoosier4Liberty]

Indeed. The spread-the-wealth fascists Obama and Reid want to hold the full faith and credit of the United States hostage in order to further their spread-the-wealth, far-left, redistributionist agenda.

It's long past time for those numbskulls to be taken out of public office.

 

[ScreamingEagle]

the Republicans even proposed a bill that would AUTOMATICALLY pay our debt obligations.....

but the Demonrats refused...

 

[bendog]

Well, it'd be one way to get Obama over 60% approval.

Yup.

Dipshit, you can make a better case for the House Teabastards needing to be impeached, not the president since he hasn't done anything wrong. The House is the stumblingblock, stupid.

So why do you get upset when they want to exercise that power?

I dont see any reason to impeach Obama over this. Bad policy and poor performance are not "high crimes and misdemeanors."
Now, when they get evidence that his campaign ordered the IRS, NSA, and other gov't agencies to suppress GOP votes and target voters for Democratic campagin material, that would rise to the level of impeachable.

I agree. The teabaggers don't need to be impeached, they need to be thrown in jail on domestic terrorism charges.

 

[Flaylo]

These fucking Teabastard and rightwing dipshits believe people should be impeached for not accepting THEIR demands, who they fuck are they? LMAO!

 

[J.E.D]

Time for Obama to invoke the 14th amendment and make sure that the American people fully understand why he's doing so.

 

[velvtacheeze]

Go for it.

 

[candycorn]

Bring it on.

 

[BDBoop]

Yup. Go for it.

Fascists had no interest in "spreading the wealth".

The main interest of Fascists is to consolidate the wealth into the hands of a few.

 

[Sallow]

Yup. Go for it.

It's been the plan all along.

Conservatives are the only interested in shutting down the government and impeachment to undo elections.

That's been the way it has been in this country.

We're screwed now or later. I choose to get the pain over NOW

You cannot "fund" forever on borrowed money!
