So why the heck don’t they just write a dang check to the Treasury?!

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
Meanwhile, I won't hold my breath while I wait.
he’s a professional liar, just for starters.
Blue-eyed Caucasians?
I’d pay more taxed to be one of these 45
FUBO!!!
He and Mooch should be the 1st to set an example.
How do you pay taxes on whar you receive under the table???
Then why haven’t they?
Why does it supposedly take a law being passed to force people to do something someone claims they want to do?
And how did they come up with the data that “most” want to?
More lies from the propaganda machine that makes Goebbels look like just another blogger trying to pass opinion as fact.
Has DumBO paid his fair share? ZerO’s millionaires don’t want to pay their fair share they want other millionaires to pay their fair share.
Soros will not pay his fair share because he knows that he can spend it better than the government.
Except for him. His 2010 return was released at the last possible minute on tax day this past April. He took every deduction he could, bringing his tax rate down into the mid 20s as a percentage of taxable income.
He had an income of $1,728,096 and paid $453,770 in federal taxes. That's about 26%. He's in the 35% bracket, however.
Duplicitous bastard.
Then why don’t you ask them to write checks to the US Treasurey instead of to your campaign fund, Presnt-ident 0?
Wonder why he never says all those million-dollar COLORED NBA players (as in National Association for Advancement of COLORED People) are not paying their fair share?
I pay an additional 25K to 50 K, one person loses his or her job.
I pay an additional 50K to 100K, two people lose his or her jobs.
I pay an additional 100K to 150K, three people lose his or her jobs.
And so on and so forth, that. folks is the way the real world works.
He’s a multi-millionaire. Is he willing?
Followed by every member of Congress giving up all pay raises for the next 10 years, and tie their raises to SS and Military pension pay raises, get rid of their platinum health care plan, and retirement plans to boot. Medicare is good enough for the SERFS who pay their wages, but not good enough for the ELITE in Congress, who boast many, many MILLIONAIRES as members.
Lenin said pretty much the same thing - with results well documented by historians.
There can be little doubt that Obama means to guide the nation down the same path, given the opportunity.
