The bottom line here is Obumbum needs the debt limit to be raised past his election so that he can try and get reelected without this facing him again!
The liberal socialist will never agree to a balanced budget because they will not be able to continue running their [ponzi] schemes, i.e. social security (they ripped off for more than 70 trillion dollars)!
Liberal socialist want to raise our taxes to pay for more of their social programming and will not compromise on this!
Finally, they need social security, medicaid, and medicare as issues to use against Republicans in the election, because they have no other issue, so reductions, or any attempt to revamp these programs to make them viable will be prevented by these same socialist!
Any deal will be bad for America, don't be fooled by the old media who is carrying the water for this administration, and bigger government control over the people.
First, if obama gets 2 trillion dollars to spend in the next year and a half, will be even survive for there to be another election? You KNOW he’ll spend it as fast as he can and that can’t be good for this country.
Second, I’m beginning to think the gop elite and the dems are ALL socialists. Maybe they believe the “experiment” is over and they’re just trying to keep it going as long as they can so they’re lavish lifestyle and great retirement stays in place.
