Tag Archive: debt ceiling


Last time I checked, name-calling isn’t the best way to compromise with your opponents. During a closed door Democratic caucus meeting, Vice President Biden said that, “They [the tea party Republicans] have acted like terrorists”, holding guns to the heads of the Democrats while negotiating a deal.

Biden’s remarks are not the main subject of this post. Neither is the new, frighteningly awful debt deal on the table that makes phantom cuts and raises the debt limit by $2.4 trillion. The reason I mention Biden’s meeting is because preceding his remarks, Representative Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) said this: “We have negotiated with terrorists…This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.” Doyle personifies the true motives of the Democratic Party. He goes so far as to call the Republicans “terrorists” because they, on behalf of the American people, are trying to put a stop to reckless government spending that he clearly supports. I am GLAD that the Republicans are making it impossible to spend money. That is, Mr. Doyle, THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE DEBT CEILING BATTLE!

Thank you, Mr. Doyle, for pointing out to us what we already knew about the Democratic Party’s addiction to spending the money that others have worked and sweated to earn. Thank you also for pointing out how unintelligent our liberal congressmen can be. Please don’t get reelected.

Regarding the debt ceiling, Republicans need to stand strong. Compromise is NOT acceptable when the future of America is at stake. No new taxes, massive immediate spending cuts, and permanent GOVERNMENT austerity will solve our debt crisis.

According to an article on The Hill released today, the White House has just warned that Obama will veto the GOP’s plan to ‘Cut, Cap, and Balance’ spending and the budget and labeled the GOP bill as an “empty political statement.” That is all I needed to read.

This is proof that President Obama is not serious and does not care about cutting spending and balancing the federal budget. All he wants to do is raise the debt ceiling enough so his administration can spend more money and not have to worry about souring his reelection prospects by having to raise the debt ceiling closer to 2012. The GOP has been coming up with many ideas to service our massive debt and create fiscal responsibility, and Obama has rejected them all. Now, with this bold, concrete plan on the table, Obama has shown his true colors as an uncontrollable spender of taxpayer dollars by promising to veto it.

Will we survive until 2012?
