At least this, which in no way do I support, will be better than what will happen if they don't raise the debt ceiling. End result is half the government shuts down, and guess who decides what half operates? One thing, it isn't going to be anyone elected, or it will end up on Obama's desk. A nation has to have SOME sort of agreement to a minimum things that will be off the table, and pay for the rest. What would be better, than on one agree to anything and thing no decisions are made, and then you go into half the government shut down? |
The executive branch decides which agencies continue to operate once the debt ceiling is reached, and last I checked Obama was elected, so I don't get your point.
This bullshit is way, way worse than the Department of the Interior shutting down for a few weeks. And actually, I sort of hope a partial shutdown does happen just so all the pants wetters can see that the fucking world doesn't end when the government has to actually live within its means for a little while.
