Those lib sources you referenced suggest that O just ignore congress and debt limit law and use some loophole to continue funding spending that was already passed into law.

Right now they are all on TV using the ‘tell the GOP not to default on our debt’ lines to get as much milage out of that as they can.

Technically they have a partial point, the House while they sometimes feel its at gunpoint, passes tax and spending bills that creates or at least adds to the deficit, but they also inherit tax and spending bills from past congresses which they cannot repeal by themselves that also adds to the deficit.

In the end like the other fights this will like the others end based on which side most voters support, even if that is not a reality many here wont accept,

I was listening to Rep Campbell on talk radio last night and he stated that Congress has discovered that if they call new programs "entitlements" they are automatically funded year after year without any intervention by Congress appropriators. He had quite a list of recent laws that stuffed these programs into the "entitlement" category, and so yes the RATS are probably gonna win on this one also. The GOP is just simply not playing the same game and certainly not on the same playing field.


but they also inherit tax and spending bills from past congresses which they cannot repeal by themselves that also adds to the deficit.

The House has the absolute authority to NOT FUND anything it has the guts to stand up to the RATS on. I had thought DEFUNDING of Obamacare was the original plan put forward by the iron lady Bachman and Mark Levin?
