Obama and Congress Agree To Raise Debt Ceiling to $120 Trillion
Sen. Everett Dirksen on increasing the federal debt (1965)
HAT TIP: Unconfirmed Sources
by NickFun
Complicated graphs and charts prove the country is now just fine.
President Obama and Congress breathed a collective sigh of relief today as Obama signed into law a budget agreement that would raise the federal debt ceiling from it's current $12 trillion to $120 trillion.
"The country's finances are now in excellent shape", an upbeat Obama said in a prepared statement. "We now have plenty of money for education, health care, social security, NPR and funding for the wars".
House Republicans were initially against raising the debt ceiling until Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, reminded congress that without the removal of the debt ceiling congress would have to be shut down and they would be unable to vote themselves pay raises.
The President said he has a plan to have the country fiscally sound by the time the $120 trillion debt limit has been reached, which will probably be in about 10 years.
"We will start slowly paying our bills", Obama stated. "We will find ways to reduce the deficit as time goes on but let's enjoy the economic prosperity we have now found!"
Some people interviewed were skeptical of the new plan. "If I go a hundred bucks in debt I have creditors crawling up my ass!" said Ventura California bartender Melvin Grace. "Why can't I go at least a few thousand into debt and be OK?"
"You do as we say, not as we do", Obama reminded Grace.

Welcome back, T!
Obama: "Tibet is a part of the People's Republic of China and the United States does not support independence for Tibet."
ReplyDeleteHe knows who butters his bread.
Funny, for over a year I read about Rev Wright, and how he mirrored Mr Obama's religious persuasion.
ReplyDeleteNow, will I have to endure two years of Mrs Bachmann's religious beliefs.
That her Church endorses the position that the Pope embodies the anti-Christ ...
Does that make her a Christian and the Pope not?
Since they both consider themselves Christians?
Both based upon their readings of the Bible.
Bachmann was a longtime member of the Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church in Stillwater, Minn., which belongs to the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), a council of churches founded in 1850 that today comprises about 400,000 people. WELS is the most conservative of the major Lutheran church organizations, known for its strict adherence to the writings of Martin Luther, the German theologian who broke with the Catholic Church and launched the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. This includes endorsing Luther's statements about the papacy. From the WELS "Doctrinal Statement on the Antichrist":
" ' Since Scripture teaches that the Antichrist would be revealed and gives the marks by which the Antichrist is to be recognized, and since this prophecy has been clearly fulfilled in the history and development of the Roman Papacy, it is Scripture which reveals that the Papacy is the Antichrist.' ".
Religion and politics, mix 'em all up and what do you get?
If the budget crisis has done nothing else, it has exposed the decades-long lie about the solvency of the Social Security trust fund. The trust fund may be backed by the “full faith and credit of the federal government,” as defenders constantly remind us, but if it had real assets the president wouldn’t be talking about seniors missing their checks.

An "Awakening", that's the ticket.
Fleming v Nestor, it was decided in 1960. Those that are just "Awakening" now, well, hope they're happy, blissful even.
Ignorance is rampant.
Bliss, not so much.
Now why would the Libyan Jewish group recognize the Libyan rebels as the legitimate government of Libya, if the rebels were radical Islamoids?
ReplyDeleteLibyan Jewish group recognizes rebels
ROME – The World Organization of Libyan Jews, representing 200,000 former refugees, most of whom live in Israel, has officially recognized the Benghazi-based rebels – the Libyan National Transitional Council – as Libya’s legitimate government.
In a letter to Mustafa Abdul Jalil, head of the NTC, the Israeli president of WOLJ, Meir Kahlon, offered his organization’s support and assistance.
“We feel it is our obligation that Libya become a model state with freedom of thought and religion for all its citizens,” the letter stated, announcing the appointment of Dr. David Gerbi as WOLJ’s “legitimate representative.”
Egypt, falling in line, as predicted.
ReplyDeleteCAIRO — The military council governing Egypt is moving to lay down ground rules for a new constitution that would protect and potentially expand its own authority indefinitely, possibly circumscribing the power of future elected officials.
The military announced Tuesday that it planned to adopt a “declaration of basic principles” to govern the drafting of a constitution, and liberals here initially welcomed the move as a concession to their demand for a Bill of Rights-style guarantee of civil liberties that would limit the potential repercussions of an Islamist victory at the polls.
But legal experts enlisted by the military to write the declaration say that it will spell out the armed forces’ role in the civilian government, potentially shielding the defense budget from public or parliamentary scrutiny and protecting the military’s vast economic interests. Proposals under consideration would give the military a broad mandate to intercede in Egyptian politics to protect national unity or the secular character of the state. A top general publicly suggested such a role, according to a report last month in the Egyptian newspaper Al- Masry Al- Youm. The military plans to adopt the document on its own, before any election, referendum or constitution sets up a civilian authority, said Mohamed Nour Farahat, a law professor working on the declaration. That would represent an about-face for a force that, after helping to oust President Hosni Mubarak five months ago, consistently pledged to turn over power to elected officials who would draft a constitution. Though the proposed declaration might protect liberals from an Islamist-dominated constitution, it could also limit democracy by shielding the military from full civilian control.

ReplyDelete58.2% of the U.S. workforce-eligible citizens are employed. You have to go back to July, 1983, to find a smaller number
ReplyDeleteShit, that was a BLS page. I even saved it to my favorites, and now it's "unavailable." That's freaky.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, in June of '08 63% of eligible population (those over 16 years of age) were working.
This June the number was 58.2%
No wonder the people say we're still in Recession. For all practical purposes, We Are.
On August 3, according to Powell's presentation, the federal government would be on the hook for $32 billion in committed spending, including $23 billion in Social Security checks, $500 million in federal worker salaries, $1.4 billion owed to Defense Department vendors and $100 million in refunds the IRS owes to businesses. On the same day, the government will take in only $12 billion in revenue, giving the government a $20 billion cash deficit. By August 15, when the federal government is on the hook for a $29 billion interest payment, the cash shortfall will have grown to $74 billion—and possibly more, if interest rates on U.S. debt rises.
ReplyDeleteReality
I kept waiting for somebody to, finally, give some real numbers.
ReplyDeleteAs I suspected, they have about a week to make a deal, or the Soc Sec checks don't go out.
They can send the checks out late, but, they're still going to have to close down most of the government.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just "cash flow," it's, also, "timing."
At a closed-door meeting Friday morning, GOP leaders turned to their most trusted budget expert, Rep. Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, to explain to rank-and-file members what many others have come to understand: A fiscal meltdown could occur if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling.
ReplyDeleteHouse Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio underscored the point to dispel the notion that failure to allow more borrowing is an option.
"He said if we pass Aug. 2, it would be like 'Star Wars,'" said Rep. Scott DesJarlais, a freshman from Tennessee. "I don't think the people who are railing against raising the debt ceiling fully understand that."

ReplyDeleteRufus, I believe I found the cached version of the vanished BLS Post
ReplyDeleteFreshman Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) said the presentation about skyrocketing interest rates that could result from downgraded bond ratings was "sobering."
ReplyDelete"It illustrates to us that doing nothing is unacceptable," he said. "I think the conference understands this is a defining moment for us. It's time to put the next election aside."
At the same time, Republican leaders orchestrated a series of public moves intended to soften the blow for conservatives. They agreed to give the House an opportunity to vote on two top conservative priorities: a so-called cut-cap-and-balance bill, which would order $111 billion in cuts in federal programs for 2012 and impose a cap on future spending, and a constitutional amendment that would require a balanced federal budget.
I do not understand how these people resolve the dilemma of rising interest rates on a ratings downgrade. Interest rates will go up and the deficit will widen as refunding of existing debt issues becomes more and more expensive.
Yeah, they had it up in a much simpler form, with graph, but that is gone. hmmm.
ReplyDeleteDeuce, if the people want a smaller government they'll just have to elect a President that wants "smaller" government, and a congress that wants a smaller government. The House of Reps, alone, can't get the job done.
in the meantime, if they don't get something passed they're going to bring on a shitstorm that the brightest among us can't even start to imagine.
And, before Doug comes screaming through the door, breaking furniture, and shit, let me say: yes, we do have to cut spending some, but there is a right way to get it done, and a Disastrous way to try to get it done.
ReplyDeleteAnd, right now, we're looking dead into disaster.
Dayyum, it's 3:00. Later.
ReplyDeleteUS Racial Politics
ReplyDelete…"Though 10 percent of the U.S. civilian labor force, African-Americans are 18 percent of U.S. government workers. They are 25 percent of the employees at Treasury and Veterans Affairs, 31 percent of the State Department, 37 percent of Department of Education employees and 38 percent of Housing and Urban Development. They are 42 percent of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., 55 percent of the employees at the Government Printing Office and 82 percent at the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency.
When the Obama administration suggested shutting down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage giants whose losses of $150 billion have had to be made up by taxpayers, The Washington Post warned, in a story headlined, “Winding down Fannie and Freddie could put minority careers at risk,” that 44 percent of Fannie employees and 50 percent of Freddie's were persons of color.
In Washington, D.C., we have also seen the result of government cuts on African-American leaders who had to approve those cuts. When Mayor Adrian Fenty stood behind schools chancellor Michelle Rhee, who fired hundreds of teachers, most of them African-American, the wards east of the Anacostia cut him dead. In 2010, Fenty was thrown out by many of the black voters who elected him.
Not only are African-Americans over-represented among government employees, these jobs are the backbone of the black middle class. For federal pay and benefits have in recent years far outstripped those of the private sector.
From 2000 to 2010, the number of federal employees earning more than $150,000 increased tenfold. That number doubled in the first two years alone of the Obama administration. The average pay of federal civil servants in 2009, after benefits were factored in, was $123,000, twice the average pay and benefits of $61,000 in the private sector.
Do as we say, not as we do
ReplyDeleteATHENS, Greece (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in Athens on Sunday, voiced strong American support for financially troubled Greece's economic recovery plans and urged the nation to forge ahead with painful reforms.
In meetings with senior Greek officials, Clinton underscored Washington's backing for their deficit and debt reduction programs that have hit the country hard, even as the Obama administration grapples with a similar issue at home. She acknowledged the reforms were "strong medicine" that are difficult to swallow, but said the United States had complete confidence in them.
"I am pleased to be here during these challenging times to demonstrate unequivocally the strong support the United States has for Greece," she told a news conference with Greek Foreign Minister Stavros Lambrinidis. "We stand by the people and government of Greece as you put your country back on a path to economic stability and prosperity. We have a lot riding on our relationship together."
"Friends prove themselves in difficult times and, as we know, Greece is going through a difficult time," Lambrinidis said. "The U.S. has stood by us in a decisive manner."
Did she do that with a straight face?
ReplyDelete.
ReplyDeleteInitially, I thought Hillary was doing a pretty good job as SOS. Over the last year, that opinion has changed.
Her pronouncements are purely political, hypocritically. cynical, and at times testy. Her performance in the ME has been poor.
Michelle Obama's last trip to Africa probably helped the US interests there more than Hillary's trips.
Time for Ns. Clinton to find another job. (Something I think she wouldn't mind.)
.
O she's great alright. She said Egypt was politically stable at the very time WiO said they were one food riot away from chaos.
ReplyDeletebob
Chaos passed, the food riots ended, the status que remained, "o" was wrong as usual.
ReplyDeleteAll that changed was the figure head, that and a few forced retirements, in the police force.
Other than that, no change at all.
Look at the performance, not the rhetoric.
The radical Islamoids ARE NOT gaining ground, in the Egyptian government.
ReplyDeleteThat was the crux, of the storyline, as advocated in the Story of "o".
Did not happen, will not happen.
Even if there is an election.
The US proxies were in charge, they still are in charge.
ReplyDeleteThey will remain in charge.
US proxies remaining in charge, that is the US objective, most of the time.
Who those proxies are, sometimes a cause for conversation.
Or, "Consternation," depending on your political bent. :)
ReplyDeleteAnything interesting on the talk shows, today?
ReplyDeleteJusta a thought.
ReplyDeleteAs the magic moment approaches why could not the Fed start selling its bloated portfolio and return capital to the Treasury?
.
ReplyDeleteDid not happen, will not happen.
Even if there is an election.
Once more shooting from the hip rat?
A little early to be calling what will happen in Egypt. Especially since Amr Moussa is projected to be the front runner in any election this fall.
He is disliked by the liberal protesters as being too close to the regime of Mubarak which kind of goes with what you are projecting. However, Moussa has been a relentless critic of Israel and can hardly be described as a friend of the US. Even Mubarak didn't like the guy much.
,
You know, Deuce, I wish I wasn't so damned ignorant of how the Fed really works. I'm pretty sure that's not an option, but I'm not positive.
ReplyDeleteOne thing, the Fed does, from time to time, make payments to the Treasury from their Profits. They could, possibly, make an "advanced" payment, or something of that sort, I think.
I don't think, though, that it could be large enough to make any kind of a difference, even short-term, though.
The 3rd is on a Wednesday. There's probably a Bond Auction scheduled for either the 1st, or 2nd. If they can get anything, no matter how goofy, or questionable, legally, passed before then I figure they can go ahead with their, I'm assuming, Auction.
ReplyDeleteIf they don't have one scheduled for the first of that week, they probably could do some type of "Emergency" Auction. Then, the Fed could step in and give them anything they needed, immediately, even two minutes before the "drop dead" hour (which, might, btw, be tuesday afternoon. Those Direct Deposits are, actually, sent out the night before, and held at the bank until the next morning.
ReplyDeleteIf they don't have one scheduled for the first of that week, they probably could do some type of "Emergency" Auction.
ReplyDeleteOnly if they auction physical assets, like land, or gold in Fort Knox. If they auction debt, it will defeat the whole purpose of having a debt ceiling
I meant: Once they get something passed, they might be able to do an "emergency auction."
ReplyDeleteWhy hasn't some nutter proposed auctioning off the national forests?

Let's be honest. Rat is a self confessed murderer. He lies, distorts and misdirects with anything that pleases him. But most of all Rat is a Jew hating, Israel hating, Zionist hating zealot.

As for Egypt and it's path towards the embrace of the Moslem Brotherhood?
Egypt and all it's brother revolutionaries are all speeding towards islam and it's Brotherhood adherents.
Let's all be forthright and admit that the Rat has always supported the Brotherhood....
From Hamas to Hezbollah and Iran, the Rat has always lifted them up....

“The greatest trick the Islamists ever played was convincing people that they do not seek domination.
Rat is what they used to call a "useful idiot"
ReplyDeleteFrom Wikipedia
In political jargon, the term useful idiot was used to describe Soviet sympathizers in Western countries. The implication is that though the person in question naïvely thinks themselves an ally of the Soviets or other ideologies, they are actually held in contempt by the Soviets, and were being cynically used. The term has often been used by America's political right to disparage the political left in America.
Excellent, WiO

Many Arab groups have used what I call the rotating ball cap theory..
ReplyDeleteJust look to the "palestinians"...
Arafat was an egyptian. born there...
then he called himsel part of fatah...
fatah members can be part of the plo....
the plo has dozens of groups, many with the same members...
some groups call themselves other names just to confuse the "outsiders"
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), The Palestinian Liberation Army (PLA), Fatah, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Black September group, Force 17, Hamas, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade,Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP),
Palestine Islamic Jihad, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command (PFLP-GC), Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), Fatah el Islam, Palestinian Moslem Brotherhood
And on and on...
From Sirhan Sirhan to Palestinians involved in Al Qaeda and Ben Laden?
They all wear a rotating Islamic ball cap...
My suggestion? Dont talk to much time trying to tell one islamic fucktard group from another...
Muslin Brotherhood is certainly a threat everywhere.I've wondered how one can actually identify someone as MB. It is easy to say you're not a member.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you say that, Bob? After all, if someone mentions that Israel earned $7.3 billion dollars in defense export contracts in 2010, making them one of the top ten arms exporters in the world, and then goes on to say maybe that $3 billion dollars in US military aid to Israel is unnecessary, they are identified as members of the National Socialist party.

yeah that's the fact....
What makes you an anti-semite is one standard for Israel and no standards equally applied to anyone else....
I support the reduction of AID to Israel. I advocate that Israel remove any and all threats to her by any means needed. including vaporizing the Rock of Mecca. But notice I did not call for genocide. But not to fear, you will misdirect and lie and say I do advocate genocide.....
Your statements on Israel in the past show you to be hostile to that nation, your statements in the past about Judaism show you to have a pattern of hostility to that as well....
Your cute comment that you made today?
total bullshit....
but then again?
I expect NOTHING less from you....
BTW if you actually did have cancer? congrats on beating it.. If you lied about that? go fuck yourself
See. You just joined the mainstream of the bar. No one here gives a fuck what Israel does - just as long as they do it on their own dime.

ReplyDeleteI can tell you the majority opinion here is with me on that issue.
One assumes you mean among the Muscovites and the Ideehos. To be expected. Also meaningless.
Polls and majorities are only important in a political sense in telling which way people would vote or how they think and possibly as an indicater of opinion trends. It has nothing to do with right or wrong.
Ninety-nine pecent of people could say that 2 plus 2 equals 3 and it still would be wrong.

The Muslim Brotherhood was formed, in Egypt, before Mr Mubarak was President. It is a major political voice for the disaffected, but not the only voice of the opposition to the ruling elite.
That ruling elite being the US proxy, in Egypt. Which was and still is the military.
Even after the radicals assassinated President Sadat, they could not seize power.
If the government of Egypt takes a tighter rein with Israel, well, that's regional politics. Not a failure of US policies.

His illegal wolf traps consist of elk balls dipped in poison. He's already killed half a dozen squirrels, a covey of crows, two bald eagles, a bear cub, and a couple of the neighbors dogs.
The hard part is having to go out and kill the elk to make sure he has fresh bait. Kinda tough for a guy his age.

As I say, who was the proxy, and who was jerking the chain?
At best, the US looked ineffectual and at worst incompetant.
I still argue that the US' poor performance in Egypt and with the rest of the Arab Spring movements is the reason we are currently in Libya.

Americans are unimpressed with their political leaders' handling of the debt ceiling crisis, with a new CBS News poll showing a majority disapprove of all the involved parties' conduct, but Republicans in Congress fare the worst, with just 21 percent backing their intransigent resistance to raising taxes.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama earned the most generous approval ratings for his handling of the weeks-old negotiations, but still more people said they disapproved (48 percent) than approved (43 percent) of what he has done and said.
So "Big Ears" has double the national approval rating of the Republican Tea Partiers.
This is cause for celebration, amongst those that Mr Obama has "awakened", amongst US.
They've been down so long, it looks like up, to them.
