Lew asks Congress for debt increase, says it’s ‘not open to debate’

Lew asks Congress for debt increase, says it’s ‘not open to debate’: Another Obama brown shirt that supposes we are his servants instead of the other way around. Sadly this sort of thing isn’t even shocking anymore.

  • Another raise in the debt limit? But Peolsi said that Obamacare was going to lower the national debt.

  • Granted, I do not subscribe to televised brainwash so I'm likely a tad behind the "information" 8-ball but aren't deficits coming in under projections- implying less need for things like increasing the debt ceiling... so what exactly is the justification for this "crisis" calling for an additional leap toward default without any discussion?

    • A deficit is a deficit and that means you need to borrow (or print) that difference between what you foolishly spent and what you extorted out of productive people.

      0bama promised that his plan would half the deficit from when he took office. Instead he has doubled the deficit. Under 0's prolific and foolish spending the debt has gone up some 7,000 billion dollars. The GDP has gone up some $500 billion dollars but that is unadjusted for inflation. All in all we have got very little for our borrowing. The 0bama/Pelosi Stimulus has been calculated to have generated .62 for every 1 dollar spent..or wasted. The economic super geniuses said that it would be a multiplier of 2.1 to 2.5.

      In short the leftist government still spends over $1,000 billion more than it takes in (or about .41 cents for ever dollar spent) even at record levels of confiscation and high inflation.

  • This is a sure fire way to negotiate, if you do NOT want a deal.

    President Quagmire does not want a deal for 2014.

    The totalitarians will do anything as long as they get their end...our enslavement.

  • Do these f***tards believe they're made of armor and covered with teflon simply because of their proximity to this administration? Do they know that they serve at the pleasure of the people? Do they know that a lot of those people are sick and tired of them and don't care if they end up under a bus, or in front of a train...?

    • No, they don't. And snce they keep getting re elected, they have some grounds ofr so believing. When American Idol, the Kardashians and <ario Lopes are more important to the average citizen than the operations of the Government, what do you expect?

  • If Mr. 1/2 of 1/3 of the government had any spine, he'd reply by saying no more money of any kimd to the executive branch without all requested documents - in advance of the vote- on fast-n-furious, EPA phony email addresses, Benghazi, IRS scam, and on and on and on...
