I suspect the House would deal if a Balanced Budget Amendment was included. That would prove this POTUS and Senate were willing to be fiscally responsible moving forward.
This balanced budget amendment talk sounds nice, but is not practical. Besides, do you want the supreme court to get involved in number crunching?
Instead of wasting time pushing to amend the constitution, congress should spend it crafting an actual balanced budget.
They are the one's walking away from a $4 TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT REDUCTION DEAL THAT IS ONLY 15% TO 20% REVENUE RAISING AND 80% TO 85% REDUCTIONS FEDERAL SPENDING.
The deal that is on the table clearly has more spending cuts than revenue increases and the Republican are so tied to their "We won't accept ANY taxes increases ideology" that they are willing to compromise the full faith and credit of the United States in the world financial markets.
Now who is REALLY being the CHILD here?
have you read ANY details of the so-called $4 trillion deficit deal?
if so, please post so we can see what they are.
Or is it another, "WE HAVE TO PASS IT SO WE CAN SEE WHAT IS IN IT", deal?
And I will come back at you, why won't the dems get off their one and only demand, raise taxes?
Screw the democrats. They have done NOTHING to with the budget in years. Theyve done NOTHING to help with debt except add on to it by trillions in 2 years.
And now, everyones screaming the sky is going to fall. We have to raise the debt ceiling blah blah blah. The hell we do. We have to make huge cuts. We cant keep kicking this damn can down the road which is exactly what Obama and the Dems want to do.
Pres walks and per Cantor says, "Don't call my bluff, I will take this to the American people". Good for the Pres, even Cantor's version shows Cantor up for the Putz that he is.
Yawn. What a surprise childish name calling. And some wonder why the 2 parties can't agree on things when all some can do is insult with name calling.
And wasn't there a post a while back where a lot of libs had nothing but bad things to say when Cantor so-called walked out.

Do you have any opinions...expert opinions, that we don't need to raise the debt ceiling?
LOL, and the libbies are getting schooled on how you can be socialist/Marxist while still accepting bribes from Wall St.
Lenin once said "Capitalists will sell the rope needed to hang them". I'll revise and extend this remark to add that not only will they sell me all the rope I want but they will let me put it on my Visa or MasterCard.

You really don't get it, do you?
Yes, we need to make huge cuts. You can agree on the cuts now and implement them, but you cannot reap sufficient savings in TEN DAYS to avoid surpassing the debt ceiling limit at this point.
Again, read this carefully: the savings will be realized in the future.; the savings will result in the future years. We have TEN DAYS. Do you see the difference?
Once you cross that debt ceiling, government agencies have no authority to further spend above that level - and they won't. That's why social security checks may not be able to go out...not to mention that US treasuries will get absolutely slaughtered in the marketplace. Do you think our foreign debtholders will be content to hold our now-risky securities without a significant increased in interest rates?
So the obvious solution that sane, intelligent people would prefer would be to raise the debt ceiling now to avoid a short-term crash even as large spending cuts are implemented to bring down the debt level in the coming years.
Pres walks and per Cantor says, "Don't call my bluff, I will take this to the American people". Good for the Pres, even Cantor's version shows Cantor up for the Putz that he is.
Oh, please do. He must know the American people are NOT on his side.
They want spending cuts, not tax hikes.
Yeah, they WILL call his bluff.

Nonsense. We have PLENTY of revenue coming in to pay for SS, the troops, interest, etc.

You mean he'll take it to the msm, who in turn will spin it in his favor.
I swear, you could have video of obama raping a dog and the msm will protect him.
