This is a good idea. Each time it comes up just increase it enough for a couple of month so Obama has to come back over and over begging to borrow more money while never offering to cut a thing. It will keep the focus on the tab the progressive socialists keep running up.
I agree completely. This takes a major talking point away from Obama. They aren’t holding the economy hostage but this will be an ongoing discussion.
Agreed. And, from what I heard, it will also force Dirty Harry Reed and the Senate to put forth and pass a budget for the first time in almost 4 years.
McConnell and Boner will keep offering extensions until Christmas when they will then surrender to Obama as they always do.
I wouldnt call it ‘begging’ but it does force him to take time away from whatever his is selling Americans (on TV) to complain about it, demand, and accuse Rs, argue for more debt, etc, and the more often the better.
I would think at some point O demands a larger extension through the 2014 race as he did in 2011, but that is a tougher play for him.
I don't join in on the ritual wailing ("Oh, Boher sold us out again, rats') here because most of these things are so predictible. the whining is just boring now.
That's a good point.
