Beeho's fiscal cliff strategy

[Ronin13]

So we can all agree, he's either A) really dumb, B) really smart, and with either option, complacent, or just wants to procrastinate until the last minute (remember that "government shutdown" last year?)

Heres the plan that will work, go Back to the Eisenhower tax rates (last best Republican president) Problem solved in no time.

The Eisenhower tax rates and deductions resulted in roughly the same revenue as a percentage of GDP than the present tax rates are collecting. Yet another FAIL on nynco's part.

The Democrats "strategy" has been to refuse to undertake their legal and constitutional duty and actually pass a formal budget. That is because they wish to absolve themselves of the actual results of their failed stewardship of the institutions of Federal government.

They presented this compromise agreement of defering spending cuts to the end of the year a year ago, to gain electoral advantage. Now they are blaming the GOP for the results of their own proposals. That's the kind of juvenile behavior we've come to expect from the Democrats.

What the GOP should do is refuse to pass any budgetary legislation at all, continuing resolutions - nope, debt ceiling raises - nope, nothing except a formal budget with all the statutorily required trimmings is passed by both houses.

That could work- if the dems could stop being pouty little children and actually work with the GOP... This is why I think we should just fire them all, start fresh, and outlaw both democrats and republicans.

Beeho's plan is basically analogous to a man asking his woman to fellatiate him first and then after he gets his he'll go down on her. You just know once he blows his load he's going to roll over and go to sleep.

Obama has already led the US into another recession ... after failing to actually oversee any actual recovery from the last one.

Complete incompetence.

debt ceiling raises - nope,

That would be unconstitutional.

[spqrzilla]

That would be unconstitutional.

Refusing to pass a debt ceiling raise would not be unconstitutional. The Democrats tried to float that argument over a year ago, and it was really laughable.

The Constitution provides that Congress has the power to raise money, appropriate funds, etc. If there is a law setting a maximum amount that the Federal government can borrow (and there is), that is the limit of the Federal government's authority to borrow, period.

[Sharpienads]

That would be unconstitutional.

How so?

[Irving]

How so?

Stand by.
