One of the great stories from Washington is that there may be another fight for the debt limit, which can mean … a sigh, hide women and children … gridlock, reductions, exclusion of the government, failure to comply with the obligation and tooth decomposition.
Okay, maybe not tooth decay, but the DC plant is terrified.
Last year there were two great confrontations between the Republicans of the Chamber and President Obama.
The first fight took place at the beginning of the year and turned around the level of expenditure on the rest of the tax year 2011. I explained in February this year how supporters of the smaller government can win in the struggle to close the governmentEspecially from the time This would not affect the “necessary” part of the government.
But I wasn’t surprised when Gopers fastened under pressure and accepted the contract To-at best-it is possible to classify as a kiss compromise (and, as I noticed elsewhere, ours The sister was not Claudia Schiffer).
Then we had a substantial struggle for the debt limit later this year led to absurd claims that the lack of an augment in the debt limit would lead to non -performance of the commitment – Although the federal government collected ten times more income than it was needed to pay interest on debt.
Once again, Republicans were not able to withstand demagoguery and basically gave Obama what he wanted Agreeing to the “supercomism”, which was designed to seduce them in a tax augment.
Now the game will start soon. This is Deja Vu again, how can Yogi Berra say.
Here are some of what La Times reported.
Republicans in Congress are heading in the summer, as last year – inciting with a white house, demanding huge federal budget cuts in exchange for a routine task to augment the debt limit of the nation in order to pay government accounts. Marshal of the house John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) doubles a strategy, which ended with mixed results last year after the country reached the edge of the federal failure to perform the commitment before the contract was concluded with President Obama. In this round, both sides recorded their approvals with voters, and the nation’s loan was reduced. … Risk for republicans is not only about presenting another showd show with a high rate when voters got tired of the network in Washington.
Reporter’s claim that the fight for the debt limit has led to a lowering of the level is a bit stupid, like I explain hereBut this is now part of the official narrative.
In a separate case America’s fiscal problem is too much expenses, and deficits and debt are the symptoms of this problem. Here is another fragment of the history of La Times.
“The problem is debt,” Boehner said on Sunday about ABC this week with George Stephanopoulos. ” “Coping with our deficit and our debt would aid augment economic growth in the United States and would raise this cloud of uncertainty, which makes employers wonder what will happen next.”
No, Mr. Marshal. . The problem is expenses, expenses, expenses.
Returning to the main problem, the debt limit is not the only great fiscal fight that can happen this year. There will also be bills for the 2013 financial year, which will start on October 1 this year. This will mean another fight, especially since the left is not going to follow the expenditure limit, which was part of last year’s debt limit agreement.
And if the Republicans are firm, it means another “closing the government”. Although this should really be called “the government’s slowdown” because only irrelevant bureaucrats are sent home.
In any case, since I am aimed at the probability that something good will happen, let’s enjoy at least good cartoons from Jeff Macnelly. He died a few years ago, but these cartoons from the mid -90s are just as suitable as then.
These are humorous fairy tales, unless you really think about the fact that the government is partly disgusted, because Washington is littered with programs, departments and agencies filled with insignificant bureaucrats. And don’t forget about it These bureaucrats are overpaidObtaining on average twice twice than employees’ compensation in the economy production sector.
But I don’t want to end this post on a sour note, so here is a few Good jokes from overdue night comics about government closures.
