When has the Kenyan ever worried about something needing to be “lawful”? That boy plays on his own playing field and he makes up the rules as he goes along.
What a farce. The US Gov’t has more than enough income to pay interest on its debts - and by law, payment of legal debts comes first.
In sum, the US will not default, but it WILL need to make ver hard choices on all spending, particularly on Soc. Sec. and Medicare
Boehner’s office called. He just wet his pants.
So, we have the Senate telling the executive to bypass the House of Representatives?
The Senate weasels should be asking him to abdicate from his oval throne room which he has occupied illegally for over four years now!
Instead they plead with the illegal rat to behave peaceably and do the right thing. The right thing would be to leave him with a lugar on his desktop.
I would like to see the Senate Democrats take a “lawful step” toward avoiding default. Maybe something like PASSING A BALANCED BUDGET. You know, the sort of thing that’s in their Constitutional job description.
The Sen(ile)ate has not passed a Budget in over 1300 DAYS!
No, a Lugar goes under the desk. A Luger with one cartridge would go on top of the desk along with a shot of schnapps.
Borrowing is not a power of the president - it’s reserved for the Congress.
But they’re going to do it anyway so....
Deep cuts to SS and Medicare? Is that even true?
Soooo...Why are we not seeing Bhoner and McConnel on the steps of the Supreme Court demanding an injunction to preempt the usurpation of Constitutional authority?
Nevermind. I already know the answer.
Leaving aside, for the moment, the (quite obvious) class warfare this evokes, it should be evident that the left's idea of "smart" cuts would necessarily exclude entitlements, which are the primary drivers of the annual deficit...
Anyone wondering why Obama takes it up[on himself to make his own rules??
Because he knows he is backed by these traitors, Treasonous Democrats who implore him to ignore the laws of this country and become the dictator he is.
We dont need to get rid of Obama we need to get rid of every Democrat traitor on the Hill and half the Republicans.
It’s hard to imagine a Congress that is not only willing to destroy itself ,but is anxious.
If there was one opposition party in congress obama’s vacation budget would be zero. And that’s just the start. Remember in 2010 congress was going to defund obamacare? Yeah, right.
The real power here is not the debt ceiling.
Funding authorization for the US Government Continuing Resolution expires March 31. Whereas some method of getting around the debt ceiling (which does not exist in the Constitution) is at least possible, continuing government operations with no funding authority is not.
It is THERE that the GOP has leverage. The idea was to include a CR extension with the debt ceiling deal. If there is no deal, there is no extension.
I note that most of these outrageous statements happen right after Rush’s show on Fridays.
