I think this is what is known as a lie of omission.

The fascist-in-chief is correct that in and of itself, raising the debt ceiling does not raise the nation's debt. The omission, the part he leaves out, is that raising the debt ceiling does allow our voracious, ravenous, never satiated federal government to wantonly, recklessly and with malice aforethought, increase our nation's already staggering debt to new, previously unimagined levels; a task which they promptly and enthusiastically set about accomplishing the moment the debt ceiling is raised - every single time the debt ceiling is raised..

I wish I could believe that there is no one left in this country so stupid, gullible and/or bereft of decency, as to continue to believe Mr. Obama's wicked lies - be they lies of omission or his usual bald-faced lies. Unfortunately, that is not, and apparently never will be, the case. There are people out there who would defend this man if he were caught on live television murdering a baby.

Repeatedly raising the debt ceiling amounts to repeatedly taxing every nation that purchases oil on the open market and they're all getting tired of it and are looking for reserve currency alternatives. Once nations stop buying oil with US dollars, demand for dollars will plummet, interest rates will spike, paying the bills will become impossible, we'll go into full on Wiemar republic hyperinflation, and the US goes zombie apocalypse as the food stamp/welfare system collapses. This chain of events is already in motion. A strong dollar policy seems like it might help by instilling confidence in the U.S. dollar/ government/way of life. Repeatedly raising the debt ceiling does not instill confidence in the world's reserve currency, it instills resentment.

The Price of Politics

Debt and deficits impoverish us in ways we can only begin to measure.

Just like raising your credit card max won’t increase your credit card debt.

And as I overheard in a visit to my local DMV the other day.

Obama: Raising Debt Ceiling Won’t Lead to More Debt

Tell me this did NOT come out of his mouth!!!

PLEASE!!!

Washington Post Thursday 19th

Amalgamated Teleprompter Operators Union has filed a complaint over the unjust firing of yet another of their personnel by the White House Wednesday.

Charges of putting words into the Presidents mouth are unsubstantiated, according to ATOU spokesperson Carly Blooper.

We COULD just call it something else, like... ‘fishing’ or something... then raise it!

No problem!

Maybe someone ought to tell “O” this!

By the way, anyone who doesn’t agree to mega massive debt is just trying to keep you down.
