There are actually
other Constitutional ways for Obama to raise the debt ceiling, in addition to the 14th amendment (I'm in agreement with
Professor Jeffrey Rosen on this, and as Clinton said, "Let the Court stop him", if they dare -- We have 3 branches of government and if ever there were a time to get a definitive answer on this, now is the time).
The only reason Obama isn't just doing it is because he wants to make deep cuts in these social programs. Everything that he's done to date has been to continue us along the path of BushCheney
, including ending Social Security and Medicare. The payroll tax holiday is one of many examples. It's death by cuts, by attrition.
Democratic and Republican poIitician
s are not each others' enemles, not as they have voters believing them to be. Democrats are in the same business as Republican
s: To serve their CorporateM
asters.
Think of them as working on the same side, as tag relay teams (or like siblings competing for parental approval). 'Good cop/bad cop'. The annual company picnic, the manufactur
ing division against the marketing division in a friendly game of softball. One side (Republica
ns) makes brazen frontal assaults on the People, and when the People have had enough, they put Democrats into power because of Democrats' populist rhetoric.
Once in power, Democrats consolidat
e Republican
s' gains from previous years, then continue on with Republican policies but renamed, with new advertisin
g campaigns. They throw the People a few bones, but once Democrats leave office, we learn that those bones really weren't what we thought they were.
