Haha, you don’t understand how the government or politics functions then I guess. You can’t unilaterally cut spending when you have 1/3 of the government and it’s political suicide to force a partial shutdown over largely symbolic cuts 16 months before a presidential election. You need a Senate majority and a new president to enact the ONLY kind of change that can fix the budget - entitlement reform - but you all go on with this delusional tempest in a teacup if it pleases you...
You’re totally missing the point-—Obama was against raising the debt limit in 06—and the GOP was FOR IT—with the Senate, the House, and the presidency in GOP control. If they ever get control again, they’ll come up with an excuse of their own to raise it, and the DEMs will go back to being against it.
