Should we be concerned about Jack Lew quietly raising debt ceiling $51 billion without a vote?

Does the number $16.7 trillion ring a bell?

It's the debt ceiling. It's the line in the sand that must not be crossed.

And to protect that line we have a Republican Congress.

But that line has been crossed and not a peep out of Congress or the major news media.

Obama's unelected bureaucrat, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, just unilaterally hiked the national debt of the United States another $51 billion dollars.

And how did he do it? Simple. He just did it. No Senate. No Congress. No problem.

He simply called it a "standard set of extraordinary measures" that allows him continually raise the debt ceiling at will and borrow our way into oblivion.

If there is a single conservative Congressmen left in our Republic, will he please stand up?

[yoe]

We need this Congress to address this and write new legislation.....

Isn’t OBAMUNISM great???

[SMARTY]

If a Conservative even DREAMED of circumventing the rules to THAT, on ANYTHING...Liberals would make him wake up and apologize in front of a firing squad!

Without a vote? Are you kidding? This administration has already been doing that for 4½ years now. The rule of law is dead.

Either congress starts impeachment proceedings, or we no longer have three co-equal branches of government.

It really is *that* simple.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

More evidence of the Coup d’etat. There are no rules anymore. The Constitution is only a memory now. Accountability is dead. Have a nice day.

[Toespi]

Nah, no concern. Actually, there is no further need of Congress, save some money and send them home, they are irrelevant, transformation complete.

[Cyber Liberty]

Well, Congress would get involved if it wasn’t something they wanted as badly as Obastard. They are opposition in name only.

[Political Junkie Too]

"Standard extraordinary?"

Good afternoon.

Slightly off topic, but over the last 4+ years, I look and see the U.S. as Deutschland, circa 1940.

Oh, and to you guys and gals at the NSA: go reproduce asexually.

And the Republican Elite takes notes, wondering why they never thought of it, while dreaming about when they get their turn again...Right...Isn’t going to happen, and even if it did, it wouldn’t make a dimes worth of difference to us. They are all in it together.

Dear Lord, please share Your strength and guide us.

This whole Federal Government thingy is just for show. Nobody involved follows the laws anymore. Feigned outrage is all we get. Nothing will change because a majority of "We, the People" no longer care about anything other than getting handouts.

Look at all the supposed conservatives which arrive on the scene showing promise only to immediately embrace non-conservative positions. They too, are only concerned about continuing to ride the gravy train.
