I am a proud American the current administration has maxed out it's credit card and wants more even undoing the sequester cuts which are the law of the land and proposed by Obama and Lew.

So you approve spending and payment of the bill at the same time, not as a seperate action. There should never be a question of should we pay our debts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-45492480402973560572013-10-13T02:14:07.855-04:002013-10-13T02:14:07.855-04:00My wish list:

This is true. I will add to this, however, that I don't believe big business was ever for it. That is why the President, by executive FIAT, did carve outs. He, and the DNC, realized that the money would flock to the GOP if they did not and 2014 and 16 would be their greatest nightmare.<br /><br />I do Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-42956557918853969292013-10-12T21:35:10.546-04:002013-10-12T21:35:10.546-04:00To the last anon, do you seriously believe Obamaca...To the last anon, do you seriously believe Obamacare only has a PR branding problem?
