BO is wrong
Posted by kalkalmanek 10 years, 3 months ago to Government
BO says that it is the responsibility for congress to raise the debt limit. He is so wrong, The responsibility of congress is to protect the US Citizen by passing laws for the good of the country. To spend foolishly and expect congress to approve of foolish behavior by anyone especilly the President is for Congress to stop this behavior and since Congress holds the purse strings, they should lower the debt limit and cut out the wasteful programs that have passed. Like, stop all welfare for those that can work unless they put in a forty hour week doing community service. As for food stamps, a weekly amount of hours doing community service to receive them.

Indeed. I am still waiting for the man to be right about something constitutional. For a supposed Constitutional scholar, I keep wondering what constitution he studied...
Respectfully,
O.A.
I'm generally for food stamps and against other spending, but no matter what, if we don't have support to tax for those things, we shouldn't have them. Every time some evil-doer abroad does something and politicians starts asking what to do, every time we increase prison sentences and every time we do something help needy children or grandmothers, everyone should have to send some money to the Treasury to cover the cost. Then people could make a decision about whether it's worth it.
The Congress 1) Doesn't pass the constitutionally mandated required budget for years on end, 2) Spends funds that were gathered for one purpose on other purposes, 3) When they have passed budgets they have budgeted significantly more than forecast revenues necessitating borrowing.
The executive 1) Spends more money than appropriated via "emergency powers", 2) Threatens to direct legally mandated spending to discretionary areas so as to default on payments on borrowed funds.
