re: #92 The Yankee

The only questions I got about this debt ceiling thing is:
When will Obama going to raise it unilaterally?
Why hasn’t he done it yet?
Does the house take their power seriously?

1. Probably not unless/until all other avenues have come up empty.
2. As I understand it, he can’t do it until it’s a true emergency. I take that to mean he can’t do it until after we default.
3. I think they take themselves way too seriously. As to their power - I don’t think they even have a semblance of a grasp on it.
