re: #44 Targetpractice

The next step, as it seems to stand right now, is to roll the shutdown over into the debt ceiling “debate.” Both sides think it’ll give them more leverage, but one side is delusional. Three guesses as to who and the first two don’t count.

I’m hoping that if it comes to the debt ceiling, Obama simply says to the American people the following:

“I’m faced with a debt ceiling that is inconsistent with the tax levels set by Congress and the appropriations made by Congress. I can unilaterally raise taxes, cut spending, or ignore the debt ceiling to resolve this.

The debt ceiling is null and void. Thank you and good night.”
