President Barack Obama challenged the U.S. Congress on Friday to approve an increase in the U.S. debt ceiling or else the United States will be unable to pay its bills and then, "We're deadbeats."
Obama scolded Republicans for trying to gut funding for his signature healthcare law in exchange for a debt limit increase.

The current liberal line is that raising the debt ceiling is not taking on new debt, because we’re just paying bills for expenses already incurred.

We've been "deadbeats" since LBJ's Guns & Butter "Great Society" Programs...
(IIRC) Last year we had a real balanced budget was in (19)69.

President Barack Obama challenged the U.S. Congress on Friday to approve an increase in the U.S. debt ceiling or else the United States will be unable to pay its bills and then, "We're deadbeats." Because when responsible people can't pay their bills, they borrow more money.

deadbeats Mr. “president” are the ones that spend more than they take in.
Deadbeats are the ones that know they are spending more than they take in and continue to do it.
Deadbeats are one ones that continually lie about it.
You, Mr “president” are a deadbeat.

Like a sorority girl scolding her father for failing to re-charge her credit card and subsidize her out-of-control spending:
“I’ll look like a deadbeat on spring break!”
It is absolutely pathetic. Shut it down.

Look, Barry, the answer to all this is so simple.
There were 4 or so cabinet level Departments when George Washington was President. Now there are what..15?
Obviously the Federal government is doing WAY more than the Constitution provides for. Start by eliminating one extra-Constitutional Department a year along with the programs it administers, and in ten years the budget will not be a problem..

Hey, Barry...we became deadbeats the moment your hand came off the Bible in 2009. We're already there, pal. This measure merely serves as an acknowledgment of that fact.
Merely pretending that you're not a deadbeat when you can never pay back what you've already borrowed, much less any sums you intend to borrow and welsh on in the future, does not change the fact that you are, in fact, a sniveling deadbeat.
Why is it, Barry, that you appear to be incapable of understanding this? Are you completely incompetent?
