The American taxpayer - Screwed.... again

[Patriot]

Socialist lite, Senator Mitch McConnell, inserted the following provision into the Senate bill regarding the debt limit that will make it easier for the President to raise the debt limit on the nation's credit card.  Just more crap from the elites.  With Congress eroding their own constitutional powers at this rate, instead of electing a president, we'll just be attending the coronation of a king in 2016.


Senate Debt Deal Includes Provision Lessening Congress' Power On Debt Ceiling

Capitol Hill talk regarding the Senate deal apparently includes a provision that would take away the Congress' power to increase the debt ceiling. According to Politico, it looks like the buzz appears to be true.:

    The plan includes a proposal offered by McConnell in the 2011 debt ceiling crisis that allows Congress to disapprove of the debt ceiling increase, which means lawmakers will formally vote on whether to reject a debt ceiling increase until Feb. 7. Obama can veto that legislation if it passes. If Congress fails as expected to gather a two-thirds majority to override the veto, the debt ceiling would be raised.

National Journal reported last week:

    Whether it's four weeks from now or in one year, there'd be even less reason to put faith in a last-minute deal next time the U.S. is up against the debt limit...

...This approach isn't all that radical. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., proposed a reform in January that would change the debt-ceiling mechanism so that Congress would vote to disapprove of an increase, as opposed to approving one. Such a change would limit debt-ceiling negotiations to a veto-proof majority, while still leaving Congress with some power.
(Emphasis added)


Not radical?  You've got to be kidding!  This is technically the same method by which these idiots get automatic pay increases every year.  And all the sheeple said, "Huh?"  Hmmmmph!
