Dems offer bill to
abolish debt limit

The Hill [Washington, DC], by Peter Schroeder

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/16/2013 11:37:24 AM

A group of House Democrats are introducing legislation to abolish the debt ceiling, saying uncertainty surrounding the hikes causes unnecessary pain to the economy. The lawmakers — who will unveil the bill Thursday — accuse Republicans of hurting the economy by ransoming a hike in the debt ceiling for steep spending cuts. They argue uncertainty over whether the U.S. will raise the debt ceiling will roil markets and damage confidence in the U.S. economy. The Dem lawmakers behind the bill are Reps. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.), Hank Johnson (Ga.), Jim Moran (Va.), Jan Schakowsky (Ill.), Keith Ellison (Minn.)

Comments:
What a fine group of Democrats we have here. s/o When this doesn´t pass the House will this give 0bama the go ahead for another Executive Order to go around Congress? Nothing would surprise me from these criminals. What happened to their cries that 0bama has the authority under the 14th Amendment?

This is great news!

We can all keep spending and spending and spending! The demonrats have officially declared that there´s no tomorrow.

Mayans? Who needs Mayans when we have our very own demonrats?

Let them do it.

A defining moment if there ever was one. We can finally tell the truth - Obama has no desire to reduce spending.

Let me see.....A muzzie, someone who thinks an island MIGHT tip over, A commie, a moron, and someone from NY - Yup, I´lsa sur trust all you-uns....lawsie, mercy me.

I´m going to try this approach with Mrs. BaseballFan this evening, using Obamalogic (TM):

BF: "Honey, I think we should abolish how much we´re allowed to spend."

MrsBF: "Hey, great idea, hon! And after we move into our car to live, where will we put the five flat-screen TVs you plan to buy?"

BF: "No sweat, dear. Tell you what: you triple the usual order of checks - in fact, quintuple the order - and we should be set for another three years or so."

/s off/

No budgets and no spending limit.

The "Hill" (Hill of what?)doesn´t even make an attempt to explain the other side of the issue.

Has Hank Johnson given up on the prevention of Guam tipping over?

The ignorance and arrogance of 0bama and the dems is appalling. They have no knowledge of how economics work. Spend, spend, spend. Right now, because of policy, people are allowed to live very high using their credit cards, buy anything they want, then wipe the slate clean and go bankrupt only to start all over again. That is why the common spending moron does not complain about 0bama´s rampant spending; they all think this is a good thing. Get a clue, America.


Reply 11 - Posted by: LadyHen, 1/16/2013 12:33:58 PM     (No. 9120122)

I wonder what would happen if I called up a credit card company and told them I wanted a no fee card with no limit and that didn´t have a minimum payment and that I could use to purchase anything, legal or not, without any oversight. That is essentially what we are talking about right?

The Democrat party plan has always been to destroy the US economy, nothing has changed. The ignorance and arrogance is held by those that still think Democrats want the US to succeed.

A national party that is spending a trillion dollars a year more than we have, that hasn´t passed a budget since they´ve had the White House, and that now wants to abolish any overdraft limit.

In normal times they would quickly become a splinter party, like the Naderites.

But I´m afraid with so many "low information" voters on the dole and in their pocket, we may be seeing the last days of this once-great country.

Oh wow makes me confident that "Guam might tip over" is working on this bill. /s

What a great idea!! We could then eliminate taxes altogether and just borrow all of the money the gov´t needs...s/o


Reply 16 - Posted by: unagator, 1/16/2013 1:44:21 PM     (No. 9120327)

Why not? Obama´s Free Stuff Army will not be denied.

For all the yammering about spending cuts from the Republicans, the debt limit will rise and the debt along with it until a Treasury auction fails....then it´s lights out.

Might as well get on with it.


Reply 17 - Posted by: lwgii, 1/16/2013 3:17:26 PM     (No. 9120539)

I would call all of these people pigs, but that´s an insult to swine everywhere. Hank, you still worried Guam is going to tip over if they all run over to one side? Jan, your old man out of the joint still? Is that where our next health care bill is coming from? Jim, let´s mess up an election and then brag about it.

If this is representative of who we are as a people, our upcoming demise will have been well earned.

Obama nominates Nuland for
assistant secretary of state

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

America´s 100 million cable and satellite subscribers are forced to pay ever-higher bills for a growing number of channels they do not watch. The American people are being ripped off. Meanwhile, services such as iTunes and Netflix have led a revolution in how consumers purchase and experience music and video entertainment. They have upended entire industries to allow consumers to buy digital content where they want, when they want. Amid all this change, two entrenched interests — the cable television and video programming industries — have teamed up to use federal regulations to stack the deck against consumers.

Mark Levin Tears Into Obama: ‘Flat-

Nothing About IRS Targeting

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama is a little uneasy with the way journalists have been dragged into the Justice Department’s aggressive pursuit of national security leak investigations. In fact, he has ordered Attorney General Eric Holder to conduct a 45-day review of the department’s guidelines on the issue. That bit of news was buried in the middle of the president’s hourlong speech today at National Defense University. “Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs,” President Obama said. “Our focus must be on those who break the law.” And then the news: “I have raised these issues with

Anthony Weiner’s nascent mayoral campaign is off to a rough start. Weiner made his candidacy for mayor of New York official in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, and since then there’s no indication that the process is going particularly well. The former rising star in the Democratic Party can’t shake the scandal that forced him to resign from Congress, and he may be throwing fuel on the fire. Asked this morning whether there was another shoe to drop in the sextweeting scandal that ousted him, Weiner admitted, Well, yeah.

White House press secretary Jay Carney could only explain his problems on Wednesday by telling reporters, "[T]here are a lot of you, and you´re good at your jobs and you´re smart." As easy as it might be for Carney to lob such insincere praise at former journalistic colleagues, such posterior osculations must be embarrassing for a White House so accustomed to having the press in its back pocket. Carney´s job has become more difficult in the past two weeks. Where his explanations were accepted at face value in the past, he is now met with deep skepticism. Suddenly, the

WASHINGTON – First she refused to testify. Now Lois Lerner, the IRS official at the center of the agency scandal, is refusing to resign, according to a top Republican senator. Sources confirmed to Fox News earlier Thursday that Lerner, the head of the IRS division that oversaw the unit targeting conservative groups, had been placed on administrative leave, with pay. But Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, claimed she was only put in that status after refusing to step down. He said the commissioner was in his right to demand her resignation, and said taxpayers

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
