NEGOTIATING THE DEBT CRISIS WITH AN ALINSKY PROTEGE By Chuck MacNab
At this point, if we can believe the press reports about what is taking place with negotiations at the White House, in our opinion it is not unreasonable to suspect that Obama may be playing games with Republicans and the debt ceiling negotiations in order to create a national economic crisis? After all, he got his way with Obamacare and easily obtained big money from Congress in a crisis atmosphere. It could be argued that he won election because many people felt that a crisis was upon us and, rightly or wrongly, they wanted to change leadership to someone they thought would fix it. Obama's former Chief of Staff, Rom Emanuel obviously believed that the way to get what the Administration wanted out of Congress was to create a crisis..."never let a crisis go to waste." Big spending and humongous government turned out to be a slam dunk, (whooda thunk it), because, until the 2010 "wakeup" elections, Congress was full to the brim with socialist, big spender nutcases anyway!
After the recent lessons in history is it unreasonable to suspect that OBAMA is deliberately engineering another crisis in order to panic people into accepting his solutions to government spending? We think not! Republicans should make it clear that if the deadline runs out and Obama chooses to stop paying Social Security, Medicare, the military and other essentials, where there is adequate money coming in to cover these, then he should be held accountable. The scaremongering language he is using should come right back in his face because there is money tot pay essential items like military pay and Social Security. The U.S. is easily taking in enough money to pay its bonds and primary obligations without default. Some services and even whole agencies and departments (many that are not needed) may need to be deferred or even eliminated but the essential items can easily be funded with incoming revenues...unless Obama CHOOSES to use MILITARY PAY, SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE as POLITICAL WEAPONS and shut them down as a matter of his own personal choice! In such an instance the people, through Congress and the election process, will hold him accountable. |
