Mr. President, use the 14th amendment, let the bush tax cuts expire, then start to slam the
republicans for what they have and are doing to the country until the election

Then we will see once and for all what the idiots in this country use for brains

I hope wall street is happy with the monster they have created

1. What if Obama truly believes he cannot use the 14 Amendment?
Even if he thought he could, why would he tip his hand about it now?

3. When Congress sends a budget to the WH to be signed
Why isnt that an automatic authorization to spend the money?

Where does the Constitution authorize a budget can be created without the necessary authorization for the funds?

It should be a single step, not one where a Congress passes a reckless budget then 6 months later can fight the President about funding that budget.
