Oh okay...well I don't think it will get to that point, because unlike Greece we have a diversified economy which relies on more than just tourism.
Yes, federal spending is out of control, but why is this Obama's job alone? Doesn't Congress control the purse strings?
Obama doesn't do his job. He only instigates war within our own country. That is all he knows. Obama will not cut spending on anything. ... of course isn't the the liberal media reporting that because it looks bad for Obama.
Really is everyone's nose brown from having it up their asses?
Please don't try to say you are just being a smartass because your replies were pretty dumb.
lol, dragon tales you re the clueless one. You have to be to be an Obama supporter. You should go back and read foool! You should not give away the cow before you got your free stuff.
We are swimming in dangerous waters when the takers start making the rules.
I'm not sure where the majority (middle-class) is, but they are getting tossed around like a piece of garbage. The middle class pays for the rich, they pay for banksters, unions, poor, etc..
And the best of all, they don't complain about it. Can we wake up and start kicking the takers to the curve people?
I think Obama is ruling in the wrong country because he keeps blaming Congress for preventing him from enacting the laws HE wants and EOs can only do so much.
If he does not "entertain" those who have been duly elected who HAVE to approve a debt ceiling increase, then there will be a government shutdown.
Something has to be done about our spending problem. Obama and the Democrats got a fiscal cliff deal that didn't involve spending cuts. I agree with the deal - it was necessary to avoid a horrible immediate impact on our economy and I do not approve of the way so many House Republicans voted against it, but spending has to be addressed soon.
My interpretation of what his statement meant is: Look, you (the Congress) have previously approved legislation which requires the appropriation of funds to carry-out the purposes of that legislation. Annual appropriations. The matter of continuing the funding for the mandates you have established is not open to discussion and negotiation. You passed these laws, you created the obligation to pay the costs. Honor your commitments; your debts. I will not engage you in a debate over fulfilling our legal responsibilities.
I believe the President is accurate and that once a law is passed, one which requires an outlay of funds, the Congress should shut up and fund it ... or change the law, or don't pass more laws requiring obligations.
Obama thinks he is god and is acting like he is a dictator. He also said he will go after more tax increases. The lefts brigade news media is also selling Obama as god and demonizing anyone who stands up against them including black republicans.
Obama is the boss. He is not acting like God. He is acting like a boss which is what we elected him to do. I think it is a nice change from his first term when he was timid and meek.
