[Just another Joe]

Scrooge it. Do not raise the debt ceiling and close down ALL nonessential government.

Let's see what they do then.

SuperBadBlingMacDaddy Obama doesn’t dare mention that these lawmakers he’s gonna “refuse to discuss bills those lawmakers have already racked” with haven’t had a frigging budget from him that even came close to passing his entire Presidency. They are illegal bills, MacDaddy. The check comes to you sucker. Further, dimwit, you don’t have to discuss about paying what’s already owed; a Republican Congress with a pair of balls just wouldn’t give your worthless ass any more credit.

I want to see this skit on SNL:

opening scene:

Obama meeting with his top advisers in the White House.

advisers saying to Obama “We have a serious problem with our debt and budget” They continue to explain to Obama as if he were a child; “We have X trillion dollars of expenses and only y dollars of income”

Obama “can’t we borrow some money to pay the difference? “

Advisers “We have and, we are doing that” “Not working”

Obama “Well can’t we just make more money”

Advisers “We are” “it’s not really working”

Obama “I’ll take this under advisement, now leave me so I can solve this problem”

Advisers leave.

Obama turns on TV.

An ad comes on for a “DEBT Consolidation” company.

Obama picks up the phone and calls.

And from here I think you can imagine the conversation.

......”did you say million? with an M”

........”no Miss, Trillion, with a T like..like...Taters”

[Venturer]

Obama ran up the bills now he wants the Congress to pay them.

And of course Boehner will cry a bit, whine a bit, threaten a bit, and then fold up like a cheap suit.

"Both sides to play chicken with debt limit ..."

.... Ho Hum .... isn't that kinda like saying ...."NEWS FLASH .... The sun will be rising in the east tomorrow!!!" .....

[GeronL]

Haaven’t we already reached the debt ceiling?

Boehner will cave, of course.

[SkyPilot]

The problem is Entitlements. They are 68% of ALL Federal Spending. Our Federal Government is nothing more than an ATM machine.

The entire reason they passed the "Sequestration" garbage and the great hope in a "Super Committee" was the hope the Entitlements would be reigned in, even just a bit.

NO ONE will do this. Entitlements are breaking the back of this nation, and these include the Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, unemployment, Disability, as well as the 80 welfare programs we now have.

I guarantee you that this is how it will pan out......

"We will not raise the debt limit again! We will let the military linger, every Federal employee be laid off, and every national park shut down! We are immovable!!!"

"No matter what stop gap measure you pass during a shutdown, I will tell Treasury to withhold everyone's Social Security direct deposit."

"Oh....well....hurrumph......ahhhh......errrrr...well........all righty then, we cave."

[PubliusMM]

Let the Kenyan-in-chief define “bills already incurred.”
In the absence of an actual biennial budget, seems to me the extent of ‘incurred’ is the duration of the current continuing resolutions. BTW, ‘entitlements’ (Welfare by any other name) are not debts incurred.

SO...it’s time for the House to snap shut the nation’s coin purse. Let the sequester hit. And, double down on it by passing a BALANCED budget, one balanced to actual anticipated revenues...no deficit. Hand it over to the Senate for their action, and keep the heat on them.

I’m so sick of the arrogance of this narcissistic psycho that I could spit. It’s time for the pubbies to find their backbone and get in the fight.

[COBOL2Java]

Right...so who's really gonna win this standoff?

[I am Richard Brandon]

Dear Mr McConnell,

You may think you have the upper hand but you are dealing with Democrats. The only issue is choosing whether they will bend the rules, ignore the rules, or outright break the rules. Be prepared to have the fight over the issue, and then a second fight to prove you won, and a third to prove that the rules still apply, and a fourth to prove .. .. .. etc.

Yours in hope,
A Cynical Voter.

[SERKIT]

Playting chicken? Why not. They have been playing chicken sh!t for a while now.
