But do your fucking research first

Look at this:

?w=350&h=432

Besides, Congress is the only branch that passes the budget, Congress is the final arbiter of what gets paid for, the President doesn't have a line item to veto to rein in Congressional Spending.

Why has raising the debt ceiling only become an issue while Obama is president? It never has been before.


Have a short welcome to DU.
