Boehner can open up government any time he wants with an up and down clean vote on the CR and the debit ceiling.
There is no need to raise the debt ceiling. We have enough debt already. The Boy King Obama has doubled our debt in less than eight years. His attempt to bankrupt the US Treasury should be stopped.
There is more than enough revenue to pay the debt interest and a portion of the principle each year. We could gradually get the debt down to a reasonable number by DECREASING SPENDING. But Obama, the One Who Would Be King says we need to raise the ceiling..SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO GO DEEPER INTO DEBT!
Obama is correct in saying that raising the debt ceiling doesn't raise the debt. It does, however open the door for him and his irresponsible spending to begin raising the debt to the new ceiling...and then to demand that it be raised again....and again...and again.
Just how much stupidity can the liberals possess?
If stupidity was solid gold, liberals would be filthy rich!
The reason the debt ceiling must be raised is bipartisan in cause. The money, in effect, has already been obligated by mandatory spending of medicare and soc sec, and now Obamacare. And it's all very nice to rail about Obamacare, but the fact was back when it was being debated, no goper could even agree to use tax funds for healthcare, or be tea partied, even though using taxes had been a gop position for at least a decade. Arguably, it should have been yearly appropriations, which I'd have preferred, but the tea party caused the gop to be AWOL at the debate.
That said a supermajority want CUTS, and the dems want MORE SPENDING, and our Hah-vahd law professor potus stays silent, inside his stately palace where he things grandly, protected by his pretorian guard.
