Clearly the national parks need to devolve to the states to manage them. NPS cannot keep a sidewalk open.

They can’t at least not yet. But the could get judgements in world courts and seize overseas assets.

Also, Immigration control is the law of the land.
Prohibition of spending unappropriated monies is the law of the land.
Tax privacy is the law of the land.
Free practice of religion is the law of the land.
Prohibition of voter fraud is the law of the land.

Obama ignores them all, and the Republicans just sit back and do nothing.

That’s why the current balloons floating around are ‘the 14th amendments’. When “It’s the law of the land” starts to become the focus point on the debt ceiling Obama point out the 14th amendment is the Constitution and trumps the law of the land.

There is no Debt Ceiling. The debt has already gone thru the roof. The FED and the ECB are running the printing machines faster then ever. The global debt problem is a bomb shell waiting to explode. And there are plenty of these bombs hidden in many countries and if one goes up like in greece or cyprus they’ll heat up the other ones left. Our generation will see the fall of the Fiat money for sure.
This has happend in the past and it’s likely to happen again. I’ts written in the Bible, the Tenakh and the Quran.

“If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury”
Ex 22,25

“But as if on cue, some Republicans are already using the same Democrat talking points about the risk of default.”

This is one of the major weaknesses of Republican legislators and pundits. They adopt Demspeak in every situation where there is disagreement. Thus, half of the battle is conceded before it is argued.

This is part of the Supreme Law of the Land, which Dems also routinely ignored:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence."

Unfortunately, the Republican elite will treat it as the law of the land. If the Republicans leading the charge don’t get Obamacare defunded before Oct 17, the GOP-elite are not gonna have anywhere near the fortitude they need to stick it out past the debt ceiling deadline.

Are there any accurate articles that explain what will realistically what will happen if we miss the debt ceiling and end up going into “default” so to speak? Most sources I have tried to find are naturally flooded with hardleftist, pure chicken little hysteria. Is there any place where we can find truly accurate, unbiased, undistorted info in it? Has someone who is not hopelessly biased towards Obama written about it?

Perhaps I am a bit old-fashioned, but where I come from a “ceiling” that reaches all the way to the sky is not a “ceiling”; it’s just the sky.

I might take the term “ceiling” seriously if they refrained from raising it at least once. That doesn’t seem likely to happen.

My question is: Is Obama’s love for spending BIGGER than his hatred for America?

I guess we shall find out
