You’re right. There has been talk ever since Obamacare passed that we could defund it. But realistically, the House will not use their power over the nation’s checkbook to accomplish anything.
And now we see the liberals starting to say that the GOP can’t refuse to increase the debt ceiling, because money has already been spent, yadda, yadda, yadda, and children won’t be vaccinated, seniors won’t get Social Security checks, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Unfortunately, the GOP and conservatives have to battle both the Democrats and the media narrative. Democrats only have to do battle with Republicans.
Heck, Obama won both elections by narrow margins. Would he have won at all without such fawning coverage from the media???? That coverage may well have tipped the balance.
Obama acts like he has some mandate, but winning 51-49% is hardly an overwhelming vote of confidence.
some of us have been putting our savings in this TSP account for decades to prepare for retirement
in the past these raided savings have been replaced when the “debt ceiling” is raised
I am feeling very uneasy this time, given the low or nonexistent ethics of this WH and its appointees, fact of our national financial distress and the need for Congress to take a stand and resist this blackmail
this situation is one to watch in regards to the rumored desire of govt to seize private 401K and retirement accounts if obama doesn't get another round of tax hikes to fund his insane spending
I know govt employees are not supported on this forum, but on the overt govt seizure of private savings accounts, we may be the canaries in the coal mine
