What I would love to know is wither or not either plan will lower our national debt over time or not.
So far, I am with Obama on this one, mostly because Boehner acted ignorant saying that Obama caused the debt problem.
What pisses me off is that Boehner is pretty much going to get his way due to the fact he is willing to hurt America to get his way, this BS game of chicken is going to hurt EVERYONE if either side doesn't back down, and he knows it, he will just hold steady, and since he is more radical then Obama, the nation will pay once the senate gives in.
The only way I can see the US to get around this is by using a interesting thing in the 14th amendment, I don't know it by heart, so I just looked it up and quoted it, and put it in Bold/Italics.
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United
States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of
pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or
rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor
any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of
insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for
the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations
and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
The problem with this though, is that the President can't do it, the congress has to. So, the question is now, which plan will hurt the American people more? John Boehner's plan? Or Harry Reid's plan?
The plan that hurts us less should be the one picked, and if it is not, then the people who put it in simply do not have the national interest at heart, instead they have the the national business with a mix of crack and a bottle of the strongest alcohol you can think of.
