Overreaction much?
This isn't even the budget fight which begins in September and October. This is probably one of the only times, that I know if at least, that a debt ceiling increase was actually tied to ANY spending cuts. The cuts may be small, but the ship of state is like a super tanker and turning it around is not easy and takes a long time.
The idea that a Republican House was just going to roll in and force a Democratic Senate and the socialist we have in the White House to accept anything much more dramatic than this is just silly.
Our system it set up to prevent drastic change, and the problems we are facing are the culmination of decades of misrule and mismanagement, not just the couple years Hussein has occupied the White House.
Excuse me but does this bill not create a Special Committee (Polit Bureau) on the budget and debt? Also does this same bill not DEEM anything they pass as passed by the house? Do you not think for 1 minute this Special Committee will not be given broader authority and powers in the very near future?
“The cuts may be small, but the ship of state is like a super tanker and turning it around is not easy and takes a long time. “
That’s a cowardly statement. They could vote not to spend a dime if they wanted to. They are not under any obligation or higher authority to spend anything. They just authorized trillions more in spending.
