What bills? Half the "bills" are new programs drummed up the last 2 years for redundant federal programs and employees. Yes, they would not get paid, but I'd rather that happen than loose massive amounts of investment value and/or not pay our SS/medicare/military obligations.
Raising the debt ceiling was about one thing. Expanding the federal budget and power.
Okay, now we're following. So, there is no need to defund Planned Parenthood; Public radio and TV; medicare/medicaid and social security. LOL, they've all been around for a long time.
hehehehehhehehehhehe, "bills". What did you mean to imply by placing quotations around bills? That America doesn't have bills? Isn't that what the teanuts have been frothing at the mouth about?
Candidate Obama ran on "Hope and Change", President Obama has failed to deliver. Blame President Bush all you want, President Obama is no better. What will his slogan be this time? "Give me 4 more years to blame Bush".
If you dont understand basic accounting practices, please refrain from talking economics. Not raising the debt ceiling wouldnt have created a default. We have far more than enough coming in to cover the debt interest. We may not have enough to cover entitlements, but not paying entitlements isnt a default.
