No Debt Ceiling Raise = Obama vs. House

USHofR: The US House of Representatives by a vote of 318 to 97 has rejected President Obama’s request to raise the US debt ceiling. It should be noted that eighty two Democrats supported the Republicans in rejecting the request from the Oval. At the end of the day the debt ceiling will have to go up, but before that the House should make the Oval come forward with real cuts to the US Budget. The important point is that these cuts have to be real cuts, not symbolic cuts or cuts for the budget next year, the pain has to start NOW, welfare has to be cut, the Republicans should attempt to block ObamaCare, or at least stall its process. The Oval and House have to look at the future, the US can not just raise its debt ceiling with no end in sight, at present the US is fourteen trillion in debt, it has to be cut, it will be painful, but better the pain NOW, than the US turns in to Greece or Ireland.
