Problem is he feels all the “unnecessary spending” is the military, and anything taking care of old white people. Beyond that, it’s just peachy to the prez...
And he is a LIAR !!! Reduce the debt — NEVER !!! He will just spend all the more money he (and the bent socialist Congress) steals from Americans.
“Tonight’s agreement further reduces the deficit by raising $620 billion in revenue from the wealthiest households.”
I don’t believe this for a minute. When the “threshold” for “millionares” was at $200K and $250K, the additional revenue was approximately $70-80B a year. Of course that also makes the false assumption that economic activity is static. This new “threshold” for the “super rich” is some portion of that original number. I have not yet seen what it was, but it is 100% already spent between the Sandy relieve bill at $60+B just passed and the Fed employee raise at $11B...
Hey, what bowl game is tonight....
If his policies are designed to reduce the debt, then why does he need to raise the debt ceiling?
If he’s going to cut spending soon, then why raise the debt ceiling more than the amount needed to get us to the point where he lowers the debt?
Shouldn’t he be able to lower the debt ceiling pretty soon?
He just claimed to have cut spending by $1T in 2011.
He should not need to raise the debt ceiling...
Obama must think his voters must either A.) Not get paychecks or B.) Be too dumb to notice that their paychecks got smaller.
There will be no defict reduction. He wants to raise taxes even more, cut defense and then increase spending even more. There no one even willing to even try and fight this insanity.
47% of the country doesn't see the humor in this. We are so screwed.
And then the deficit ceiling "fight" lies ahead... I wish I could laugh.
Obama has repeatedly said he will not have the debt limit fight again. Does he plan to have a Morsi moment by dismissing the courts, the congress and declaring martial law by instigating a crisis and writing a new constitution? He cannot raise the debt limit by executive order. Is he bully-pulpit bluffing like most cowards do? BTW was it treason to aid and abet the terrorist enemy, the Muslim Brotherhood, by sending 20 F-16’s to Egypt which may use them against Israel?
And how does he propose to eliminate debate on raising the debt ceiling?
roll call bump for later.....
bttt
In saying that Congress has the responsibility to pay the bills for the laws they pass, he has a point...
There is petition to NOT increase the debt ceiling on WhiteHouse.gov:
