Thank you for that thoughful explanation. I don’t disagree that he needs to be stopped, even at a price, but I don’t see it happening.
He wants to go over “the cliff”. He’s already told Reid his terms which I’m sure stop at Bush tax rates for 250K and less, along with even more spending. He wants pain from the first paychecks in January. Then he will own Congress and be able to “give” obama “tax cuts”.
He knows he owns the microphone and noone but the Repub’s are being blamed. There will be so much nashing of teeth the longer this goes on in January/February, he figures he (and likely will) will own the negotiating process in both the tax rates, automatic spending cuts, and the debt limit expansion. By that time we will also be talking about being downgraded.....again.
I don’t disagree with your theory about stopping the spending; I just don’t see obama playing along or the Republicans being able to explain to the public what he is doing. Besides, too much of the public thinks it’s just fine to take more of some peoples’ money than others. We have an increasingly stupid and immoral society that don’t mind being takers, and in fact feel morally superior taking from others.
I just don’t see any good outcome from going over the cliff, from not going over the cliff....I’m quite pessimistic on how this will turn out. I wish I wasn’t. obama is out to screw this country, and he’s not losing any time. Until I see Repub’s (in force....not just Boehner)get in front of a camera and call him what he is........I know we’ll likely never beat him. I don’t think they know how or are able to outfox him. Besides, calling obama out for who he is.....is also calling out the majority who voted for him the same thing.
I want him stopped, as well. I hope your approach will work...I’m just not optimistic that it will.
When Obama just gets to the point of bypassing the legal debt limit and just keeps on printing money, the supply inflates, and with no real value behind it, the value inflates. My guess is the amount he’ll be printing will be epic, ala the Weimar Republic. The EBT $ amounts his leeches will get won’t buy very many Ding Dongs, Cheetos and Mac n’ Cheese....they are really gonna be ticked off.
