I was wondering when someone would post the merits/ a positive perspective on this.

But doesnt Obama get to raise the debt ceiling unless a vote in congress blocks it which they cant do without the Senate? And what about the spending cuts? All he has to do is propose some cuts since he cant actually cut spending?

So lets say he raises the limit but cheats on the proposed cuts as he does on other things? Who get’s the fallout? Or he proposes cuts in things he knows congress wont cut? Who gets the blame for the deficit? How about those tea party folks?

Just my job to play devil's advocate
