They Democrats are purposely dragging this thing out so they can eventually tie it to the debt ceiling and force our hand.

But all legislated expenditures are equal.
This “some pigs are more equal than others” argument is not for me.

The debt payments are constitutionally given priority, but all other expenditures are equally valid and legally compelling.

Don’t merge the debt limit and spending battles. Win the spending battle and adjust the debt limit accordingly.

Great post.

The Dems will never allow a default to happen because it would be the end of the spending spree since it would mean the end to easy borrowing.

The Dems must have the next round of borrowing to continue to SPEND.

The only reason the Pubbies will not force the issue is that they intend to spend as well.

So I say take the debt limit to wall. Dems will have no choice to cave or start living without borrowed money.

It would be interesting to see how the debt repayment is structured. How much is coming due in principal that has to be retired?

Clearly the national parks need to devolve to the states to manage them. NPS cannot keep a sidewalk open.

Also, Immigration control is the law of the land.
Prohibition of spending unappropriated monies is the law of the land.
Tax privacy is the law of the land.
Free practice of religion is the law of the land.
Prohibition of voter fraud is the law of the land.

Obama ignores them all, and the Republicans just sit back and do nothing.

That’s why the current balloons floating around are ‘the 14th amendments’. When “It’s the law of the land” starts to become the focus point on the debt ceiling Obama point out the 14th amendment is the Constitution and trumps the law of the land.

This is part of the Supreme Law of the Land, which Dems also routinely ignored:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence."

Unfortunately, the Republican elite will treat it as the law of the land. If the Republicans leading the charge don’t get Obamacare defunded before Oct 17, the GOP-elite are not gonna have anywhere near the fortitude they need to stick it out past the debt ceiling deadline.

Are there any accurate articles that explain what will realistically what will happen if we miss the debt ceiling and end up going into “default” so to speak? Most sources I have tried to find are naturally flooded with hardleftist, pure chicken little hysteria. Is there any place where we can find truly accurate, unbiased, undistorted info in it? Has someone who is not hopelessly biased towards Obama written about it?
