No Pre-Conditions!

...He's ruled out an end-run around the GOP. (click here) The White House said over the weekend that the president won't rely on the 14th Amendment, which arguably gives him authority to raise the debt ceiling on his own.
And his Treasury Department has nixed the idea of issuing a $1 trillion platinum coin that could be deposited with the Fed, instantly creating more money to pay the nation's bills....

Every problem the nation faces is legitimate. The GOP doesn't 'get it.'

The problems the USA faces has no right or left. Each party faces the same problems within the nation. The social priorities of each may be different simply because the GOP has sincere ideological differences in separating church and state. But, the sincere problems of the nation are legitimate and not negotiable. The people of the USA are resolved and the only reason we still have a bunch of 'Block-Em Heads' in the House is because of Gerrymandering.

The National Debt Ceiling is not negotiable. An Amendment to the USA Constitution of any kind is debatable and will not pass the Congress. It just won't. But, the current National Debt is carried by the people of the USA because the GOP used our Treasury for job bill after job bill and went into a war in Iraq for their own ideology. It is over! The GOP has to pay the bills now. They don't like it and want to say the entitlements are the problem, the budget is the problem, the President is the problem.

"W"rong. They are and have been the problem.

The House needs to OWN UP TO THEIR OWN SPENDING PROBLEMS they inherited, pass a clean debt ceiling increase and accept the anger they will receive from their partisans in their districts. It is just too bad.

The House needs to DO THEIR JOB.  The country is not a hostage.

The nation is right back to where we have always been with this House and that is Speaker Boner is not a leader and panders to the extremists. He needs to work with the Democrats and the REAL Republicans that put the nation's interests first and leave the extremists and their funding sources in the dust.
