Liberal Forum

I like that one. She's not running the House now, Boehner is. They need to stop all this last minute **** and give them time to read the stuff they're voting on. They just go from one cliff to another. They're already talking about the next 'cliff' raising the debt ceiling. Republicans are ready to let the country default on the bills that Congress already racked up. (Spending bills originate in the House.) They do this under the pretext of being concerned about the deficit and the national debt, which is a bunch of hogsnot. If they really cared about the deficit or the debt they would have gone after George W. Bush who added trillions to the debt with his two unfunded wars, Medicare Part D and tax cuts, none of which were paid for. They never once gave him a hard time in raising the debt ceiling. If they were serious about cutting spending, they would also include things like defense spending, but they never do. Their real agenda is to dismantle the social safety net, something they have always wanted to do. They don't give a **** about the deficit. Here's all you need to know and why Republicans and Democrats, particularly Obama doesn't care about the national debt... 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution Section 4 The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
