Every word out of someone associated with the Obama Administration is a lie. Including the words “and” & “the”.

"As such, I respectfully urge Congress to move as quickly as possible, raise the debt limit, and provide certainty to the economy and to the financial markets."

Keep kicking the world's biggest can down that road, fellas. There's sign post up ahead: "END OF STATE MAINTENANCE"

From the article: “At that point, Treasury would be left with only the cash on hand and any incoming revenue to meet our country’s commitments,” [Lew] said.

Well, shucks. You mean we would have to live within our means? And, that is bad why?

Sounds like a plan. And, this time we have an idea what to expect from the 0bamunists.

Bring it.

Well, Lew, guess you better start taking that money management course.

Sign up with Dave Ramsey. You can afford it.

the department will likely exhaust extraordinary measures in late February, said Friday he is "not confident" extraordinary measures will last beyond Feb. 27.

The U.S. Treasury should speak out against more debt if they are already up against "exhaust extraordinary measures".

I can’t help but suspect that if debt owed to the Federal Reserve were cancelled the problem would be solved.

I can usually make it until that 27th of the next month. Welcome to America. How about you stop spending it.

(I can really make it more like a year, but that would work.)
