"PRESIDENT OBAMA should announce that he will raise the debt ceiling unilaterally if he cannot reach a deal with Congress. Constitutionally, he would be on solid ground. Politically, he can’t lose..."Obama should have never let raising the debt ceiling even be negotiated. Slap them morons around a little bit and the fix the problems.
Start with the three Republican catastrophic events that gave us these deficits; roll the Bush tax cuts back to Clinton era rates, end the two wars - the one Bush ignored and the other one he foolishly lied us into, and stop the drug prescription rip-off plan they passed in 2003.
We had huge budget surpluses before Republicans costs us all those trillions. Ignore them bankrupting idiots.
