This is actually really interesting. But who cares. All that matters, is that one thinks with ‘HIS’ emotions. Let’s all bow down to the fricken progressives.

Do you know what this means? Obama has balanced the budget.

If the passage of time is troublesome, I’m sure the Obama solution will be to simply stop the clocks.

I thought meant it meant they have officially given up on pretending they aren’t cooking the books.

“this is bs. black president == illegal bookkeeping.”

Oh come on now, it’s not a crime if they don’t report it! That’s the new theme of the idiot media complex./S

This is bothersome because it means that they are lying on how much they actually owe. This drastically increases, not decreases risk.

Everything from a DNC lead agency is a lie.

Everything.

either they’ve been paying any overage with newly printed money without recording it... or they’ve just stopped recording the debt

neat trick

i think we should all do that... freeze our income and liabilities as of may 17th, 2013.

of course, just like interest due on the debt, any taxes due would be estimated on the frozen number

gee.. it’s wonderful when you can just fundamentally change things to your benefit without a care in the world!

With the level of lies and lawlessness from the current administration, I’m surprised that any decent people consider this government legitimate.

According to the story, Treasury is creating “headroom” by dipping into the civil service retirement funds. IOW, Team Obama is pilfering the pension system. The silence of the federal employee unions is deafening.

So if they can do it for 100 days they can keep doing it. Problem solved.

This is a reflective example of “political thinking”, which is not above reversing cause and effect. It is as if by not acknowledging it, the government can prevent the reality of exceeding the debt limit. Much of progressive government operates in this manner.

The same thing is coming to light in China where bureaucrats have routinely fudged economic numbers to please their superiors. Now, no one knows what the real numbers are.

they’ve just stopped recording the debt

You mean 'reporting' the debt.  This looks a lot like what happened in 2011, they just froze the 'official' debt--

--and after the fuss the debt continued where it was.

That won’t stop day and night from happening, though. And there are still people skilled at telling time by looking at the sun’s position.

I’m so impressed at the Fed’s debt management abilities!
