We
hope the Speaker remembered to line his britches with asbestos, because
the debt ceiling debate is only going to get hotter. The Club for
Growth and Sen. Rand Paul will support raising the debt ceiling only in
exchange for an all-but-impossible Balanced Budget Amendment to the
Constitution. Americans for Prosperity, which has people in both the
Tea Party freshmen's "Hell no" caucus as well as GOP leadership's
"Well, OK" caucus, is "confident that the debt ceiling will not be
raised unless there is something meaningful attached to it."
While Tea Party Nation founder Judson
Phillips said, "I don't
know that there's any conditions out there that they can create to get
us to support [a debt ceiling increase]." Cantor's office attempted to
please all-comers in a statement released Thursday:"Republicans will
not agree to raise the debt limit without binding budget reforms and
immediate spending cuts that will guarantee we don't continue these bad
spending practices in the future." And if GOP leadership caves? Michael
Needham of the Heritage Foundation says, "There's going to be a lot of
disappointed people." (Daily

Attach it to the elimination of the Department of Education. Then I would be ok with raising the limit.
ReplyDeleteHey TheOldMan,
ReplyDeleteHow about eliminating the DOE while we're at it? It's my theory that the DOD-facilitated GPS system has saved more energy than the DOE ever has. Getting lost is a thing of the past, along with all the wasted driving time and gas.
Not nearly enough!
ReplyDeleteGet rid of the Departments of Energy, Labor, and Education, farm subsidies and throw in congressional term limits.....
And get rid of the unconstitutional ATF while you're at it. Or make it a convenience store as it should be instead of a jack-booted thug organization.
ReplyDeleteNo legislation is going to do any good if "da one" is simply going to ignore what's in it, as he did with the czar deal.
