Ryan says Republicans weigh short-term debt limit increase

ryan/rubio… The next losing ticket.

Why is it Obama’s job to priorize the payment of bills? The house is responsible for the finances of the country. They pass the legislation to handle the money, they pass legislation to spend the money, they pass the budget that is placed before the house by their own leaders, so why the hell is it the President’s job to do the job of these guys? Where’s the leadership of the house. They can’t even put a bill before the house that their own party can pass. Great team there. All those all-stars who can’t play with the team. It’s sad that a person runs for office and feels that his way is the only way for over 300,000,000 people. I’m sure that if the people who voted were told what the person would do in Washington, they would still be home watching a better man work with the government. Sad state of affairs, America.

Ryan should be a man and take responsibility for the huge debts he voted to incur.

I despise him, but I do admit that he’s awfully cute.

The title of this article bears no relationship to its contents. Sloppy, sloppy.

They have no leverage here.
The leverage they have is in responding to the President’s budget request by proposing a budget and passing it. That’s their *constitutional DUTY*, which they have been avoiding for the past three years in the hope that somehow this will force Democrats out of office.

In actual fact, the American People are well aware of who is being obstructionist. The last time the government had to shut down because of Republicans refusing to do their duty, the Republicans suffered major losses in the next election.

It is unfortunate that Paul Ryan cannot figure out the business community or the taxpayer will not do anything to get the economy going unless we have some satisfaction that he and his cohorts will damage the full faith and confidence in the United States of America until the stupid republicans figure out that we need to repair our infrastructure to get the economy going again and people and business will not spend until they can see some light past a few months.
You cannot go out and build or buy something that will take a year or more to finish or pay for and and not confidence past a few months and he wonders why he and Romney lost the election’@!!!!

Who wants this right-wing loser in Williamsburg, who invited him?

The GOP is finally starting to accept that they lost the last election and that the majority of voters don’t want to buy what they’re selling.

Now they will have to go along with the White House in the meantime, but try to do it so it looks like it has their own GOP spin on it.

The GOP talking points for the next election cycle will be “We’re just like the Democrats except we’re white guys.”

If the Democrats were as passionate about reducing our debt as they are reducing our second amendment rights, we would be a lot better off. Instead, they want to continue to kick the can further down the road and increase the debt. If they cared as much about our children as they claim to in wanting sweeping gun control (which will do nothing to protect them, only continue to make everyone sitting ducks for the crazies) they would not saddle future generations with debt that will crush them. The House could pass budgets all day long, and Harry Reid won’t let anything that passes the House even come up for a vote in the Senate, but they want to continue to blame everyone else instead of removing the beam in their own eye.

Paul Ryan cannot figure out why he and Romney lost the election and now he wants to keep the economy from growing by keeping the businesses and the people from buying or making any improvements or expansions for they cannot plan and anything knowing the stupid republicans may default on the debt in the next few months!!!
How do even his district keeps sending him back to congress is beyond me!!!

Lyin’ Ryan…this is amusing that these guys try and hang these problems on the President. Below is from page 4 of Paul Ryan’s “Path to Prosperity” version 3.0 2013. According to Mr. Ryan’s plan (and he cites the laws and Constitutional articles to back up his statement, Congress ALONE is responsible for prioritizing tax dollars.

“STATEMENT OF CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL AUTHORITY

Article I of the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to appropriate funds from the Treasury, pay the obligations of and raise revenue for the federal government, and publish statements and accounts of all financial transactions.

In addition, the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Act of 1974 requires Congress to write a budget each year representing its plan to carry out these transactions in the forthcoming fiscal years. While the President is required to propose his administration’s budget requests for Congress’s consideration, Congress alone is responsible for writing the laws that raise revenues, appropriate funds, and prioritize taxpayer dollars within an overall federal budget.”

At a time when most Americans are still suffering in a dismal economy… losing jobs and losing homes and suffering stagnant wages…they’re hit with a payroll tax increase.

On top of that, they now hear that the president has ordered a pay raise for congress, Joe Biden and federal employees.

What’s wrong with this picture?

moonhill..when the House Republicans passed legislation this week to give $50B to the victims of hurricane Sandy, Republican Mulvaney stood up and said he was bothered that it would increase the debt. He wanted to pass legislation to offset this “New” spending by cuts spme where else. The other Republicans in the House shot him down…BIG TIME. Have you seen how much “pork” the Republican’s tried to backload into that bill? Oh yeah..IT’s ALL the Democrat’s fault (rolling eyes).
