Wow, another short-term (3 months) debt-ceiling plan. Crisis, after crisis for the good-old t-GOP! When are they going to stop passing the can down the road! They think the debt-ceiling will endear voters to them! Not.

Tie the debt ceiling to HUGE spending cuts and get it over with. We can not continue to burden our children with OUR spending. This country has become a group of ME first, screw everyone else people that makes me sick. There is NO reason that we should have 1.5 TRILLION dollar debts and not have our supposed representatives working on cutting this deficit. Every single bill they push thru has more pork. Sandy Relief, yeah right, OVer 50% of the spending in that supposed relief bill has NOTHING to do with the hurricane. Over 50%!

Trilion dollar deficits every year is NOT something we can sustain. To say one president is different than another because of party is just plain stupid! Are YOU saying that we should NOT care about the debt because, according you you at least, the debt was raised with no care in the past. Yep, two wrongs do make a right, evidently in your book!

Tie any debt level increase to a balanced budget, or we will be right back here in months. Either reduce spending, or let have El' Presidente' come up with a tax policy to reflect his spending.

Obama argues that the debt ceiling needs to be raised to pay for already agreed upon spending signed into law....... OK, extend the debt ceiling until Sept 31 2013. The last day of the 2013 Budget. As of Oct 1, there is NO budget and "no already agreed upon spending" therefore no more debt ceiling is required! Now pass a budget with spending cuts!

Remove the debt ceiling, abolish term limits for the President and name Obama President for Life. These are the only terms Democrats should agree to.

Just admit that you never gave a rip before when Reagan and Bush were spending money.

So here are some true items that the liberals have to think about. 1. The consitution of the United States of America require that the Prsident and the Senate must, have to build a budget.No if's or maybe's about it. So just how can the President and the Senate go about with ignoring that requirement?? All of them should be jail for not doing what the constituion requires of them? 2. The writer says that due to the recent election the Pet President of the liberals now has a stronger hand. Really? Just how? Do the ultra liberals know that their President only won the election by ONE, yes % 1 percent of the vote? How much closer can it get? There is NO mandate here of any kind. Try to explain that one, liberals.3. Tooty123 seems to think that it is only the GOP that have done all things wrong. Mr. Tooty, do you also know that your President has blown away over $5 trillion dollars in his first four year term? Do you feel good about this nations giant debt? Sure, blame the GOP for all but do you think you have not done your part of the troubles?? Just by voting for Prsident Hassan Barack Obama was your part and that was enough.
