If Obama can't sell Treasuries to finance his expansion of govt., he may be forced to raise taxes. Then, he will come under the scrutiny of the people. Then also, we will see how much those who voted for him will really love him after he does that.

At least among the subset of his voters who actually pay taxes, as opposed to those who are subsidized by taxpayers.

EVERYBODY will be affected when he raises taxes. Even those who don’t pay tax because their bosses will have less income after their higher taxes to retain all the existing employees or even hire new ones.
